We all at some point in our lives found ourselves at an impasse. There was no way out. No way around. No reasoning escape. No possibilities in the situation. Our whole life cannot be perfectly expressed with our limited choice of words. We are at the point of giving up the knowingly-confused unavoidable calling. We tried to step out to find it cancelled. We tried to move and we fall down flat. We stretched to be squeezed. We are powerless. We are tempted to give up and leave the Jezebel-like environment to cry like Elijah.
When we are caught in impasse, we may choose to escape or to be persistence. Either ways, God will faithfully continue to redirect our path. God restored the escaping Elijah to his calling after His angels fed him water and food and his 40 days journey. God answered the persistent widow by softened the unjust judge's hard-headed that he finally gave the justice. God is merciful.
While nothing seems possible, let us respond with full consciousness of one's unavoidable calling yet boldly believe that new possibilities beyond our imagination can be given. As we faced this impasse, let us find a way to express, identify, face, and live with this impasse until the Answer.
"Energy and persistence conquers all things." -Benjamin Franklin
