The Great Houdini claimed he could be locked in any jail cell in the country and set himself free within minutes. And he made good on his claim in just about every city he visited, except one. That day, something went wrong. He entered the cell in his street clothes. As the heavy metal doors clanged shut behind him, he took from his belt a concealed piece of strong but flexible metal, and went to work on the lock. But soon he realized he wasn’t getting anywhere. For 30 minutes he worked without success. Then an hour passed. This was much longer than it usually took, and he began to 'stress out.' But still he couldn’t pick the lock. Finally, after laboring for two hours and feeling a total failure, he leaned against the door, and to his amazement it swung open. It had never been locked in the first place! How many times does something look impossible simply because you think it is? Then you focus your faith on it, strike the word 'can’t' from your vocabulary, and suddenly, with God’s help, the impossible becomes 'do-able!' When God called Gideon, he replied, 'I don’t have the right connections.' When He called Moses, he replied, 'I’m not a gifted speaker.' When He called Jeremiah, he replied, 'I’m too young.' To each, God said, 'I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand' (Isa 41:10). Today He’s saying the same thing to you!
