IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD?

In Genesis 28:14 God asks a rhetorical question: "Is there anything to hard for God?"

Men, we will be greatly encouraged in prayer as we remember and reflect upon the mighty power of our God who is more than able to defeat every last one of our enemies. In this hour we need to encourage ourselves by singing hymns and worship songs that boast of the greatness of the might and power of our God to save, no matter what the circumstances may be.

In Genesis 18:13, 14 it tells us that when the three angelic visitors came to visit Abraham that "The Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of lie and Sarah shall have a son." I am sure we will agree that for Sarah and Abraham to have a son at a time when they were both old and well stricken in age and Sarah was no longer ovulating was a very hard thing.

At a time when Jeremiah was in great sorrow of heart, knowing that God was giving his beloved city over to the Chaldeans, he prays, "Ah Lord God! behold thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee" (Jeremiah 32:17).

The Lords answers Jeremiah in Jeremiah 32:27: "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" In the rest of the chapter God tells Jeremiah why judgment was coming and that after a period of seventy years they would return and great blessing would follow.

Men, the USA had better sit up and take notice. But let us always take heart. Nothing is too hard for God!

Be encouraged.
