ἀδύνατος (adunatos)

 ἀδυνατέω or ἀδύνατος 
It's all Greek to me! But the pronunciation helped! My phonetic scribble,
a-doo-natos, helped me find adunatos, anendektos and ad-oo-nat-eh'-o. 
So why think about it; much less write about it?

It is Meditation Monday! I do love a challenge, even one probably out of my spiritual reach.

But God......helped me find verses that were and integral part of my "hunt."
Adjective use in Luke 17:1. Verb usage in Matthew 17:20 and Luke 1:37.
So.........what's the word that is the subject of this meditative search. IMPOSSIBLE!
The abundant life is not possible in our own strength but through the Holy Spirit when we die to self. (Luke 17:1)

For nothing will be impossible with God. (Luke 1:37, NAS)

I fell better, how about you?

CHOOSE SCRIPT NOT SILICON

Text. Script. Trusted Hard Copy.
Whatever one wants to call the old tried and true way to research, my recommendation is to hold on to that, especially when doing Bible Study.
Certainly the computer can aid in that study but DO NOT COUNT ON SIRI!
Siri is NOT always the answer. Siri is silicon. (Even she knows that!)

Siri's first response to my "word study"request was, I do NOT eschew theological disquisitions.    
How's that for a mouthful---or screen full---just wish I had gotten a selfie of me sitting with my mouth agape and Siri's response in full view.
I did get a screen shot of the next one, though not nearly as complex!
My policy should be that as well---don't count on Siri to answer life's REAL questions.
So...back to basics---my "good ole Strong's concordance." Works ever time I choose to take the time and not be lazy. 
Strong's Concordance certainly helped me to get to the heart of the matter! (Psalm 43:3, Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12)
