It is possible to live a life of peace, strength, and joy by casting every care on God and trusting in His power and presence.
Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the divine possibilities for those who truly believe in the power of the Lord. It is possible to live a life where His promises are trusted and proven true, to cast all cares on Him and find peace amidst life's pressures, to discern God's will in all circumstances and turn it into a source of joy. By relying on divine power and meeting divine conditions, it is possible to become strongest at our weakest point, transforming what once caused impatience, impurity, or pride into opportunities for joyful submission to God's will and a deep sense of His presence and transformative power.
Text
All things are possible to him that believeth.
MARK 9:23
My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
IT is possible, I dare to say, for those who will in-deed draw on their Lord's power for deliverance and victory, to live a life in which His promises are taken as they stand, and found to be true. It is possible to cast every care on Him, daily, and to be at peace amidst the pressure. It is possible to see the will of God in everything, and to find it, as one has said, no longer a sigh, but a song. It is possible, in the world of inner act and motion, to put away, to get put away, all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and evil speak-ing, daily and hourly. It is possible, by unreserved resort to divine power, under divine conditions, to become strongest, through and through, at our weak-est point; to find the thing which yesterday upset all our obligations to patience, or to purity, or to humil-ity, an occasion to-day, through Him who loveth us, and worketh in us, for a joyful consent to His will, and a delightful sense of His presence and sin-annul-ling power. These are things divinely possible.
