Unreal?

It seems that real life produces events that are more incredible than our imagination.
First, who could imagine someone creating a universe such as ours, even if a million years was available to do it? Impossible. Yet, in real life, it happened in just six days!
Second, who could imagine human life, and all other life on earth, being able to reproduce itself generation after generation? Impossible. Except that it's happening.
Third, here's another wild idea - the Creator of this universe becoming flesh to dwell among us! Impossible. But he did. See John 1:14.
Fourth, a lesson of life seems to be that once you're dead, you're dead. Finished. End of story. But to prove that's not true, Jesus rose from the dead!
Fifth, another of life's lessons - no one knows the future. Right? Wrong. God's Word (the Bible) foretells what is to come. For example, the centuries-old forecast of Israel's return to her land after almost 2000 years of worldwide dispersion. Isaiah 11:11-12.
Sixth, the Bible says that God can “do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20. Impossible? But he does. He rescues drunkards, thieves, prostitutes, even murderers!
How wonderful that he's God of the impossible.
