A Great Question
Genesis 18:14 (NKJV)14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”[1]
Jeremiah 32:27 (NKJV)27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?[2]
This question was not asked of God, about God, or to God. God asks that question-- twice. It is a rhetorical question. The answer is understood. Of course nothing is too hard for God.
God is omniscient—there is nothing He cannot know.
God is omnipresent—there is no place where He does not exist.
God is omnipotent—there is nothing He cannot do.
That means, there is no promise God cannot keep. In Numbers 23:19 (NKJV) we read, 19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?[3]
There is no prayer God cannot answer. Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’[4] John 14:13 (NKJV) 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.[5]
There is no problem that God cannot solve. Jeremiah 32:19 (NKJV) 19 You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.[6]
That is why we can trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus. Is there anything too hard for the Lord? No there is not. If you will trust and obey, you will find that God “. . . is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. . .” [7] Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)
Father God,
May my trust and obedience increase every day.In Jesus name, AMEN.
