Norman Vincent Peale published The Power of Positive Thinking in 1952. This book stayed on the bestseller list for 186 consecutive weeks. One popular statement of his says, “When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.”
Peale also said, “A positive mental attitude is a belief that things are going to turn out well, and that you can overcome any kind of trouble or difficulty.”
What I want to talk to you about is far more than just positive thinking. Positive thinking doesn’t make the impossible possible. It is the power of God that makes the impossible possible.
