There is an interesting story about a naval officer named Irwin. Irwin is a junior naval officer, discharged from military service after he was diagnosed with cancer. This was standard military procedure at the time. Losing his job was a huge blow to him.
But he was determined to regain his health and work. With strong faith and determination he battles the disease that is trying to rob him of his future. According to doctors estimates he has a chance to live only about two weeks.
But because his faith and determination were so strong, his cancer was finally controlled and he was cured. Irwin then focused on his desire to become a naval officer. He knew that there was a written rule that forbade the reinstatement of a person who was dismissed because of cancer. Everyone said to Irwan, “Just give up, it takes a congressional bill to get your position back.”
Advice from Irwin’s friends gave him the idea of submitting a request to Congress. President Harry S. Truman finally passed into law a special bill that would allow Irwin W. Rosenberg to be re-enlisted and become a vice admiral in the United States’ seventh fleet.
The biggest thing that often prevents something from happening in our lives is the impossibility. When we hear the word of God, in our mind we immediately imagine the word “impossible”.
The greatest enemy of faith in our lives is not Satan, not other people, but ourselves who are filled with doubts and despair. Impossible to be i’m possible for Irwin, and also for each of us who believe. Whatever our struggles, put away all the impossibility, doubt, and hopelessness in our hearts and believe that God is able to help us.
“Nothing is impossible for the believer!”
