Is God’s hand shortened?

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” - Numbers 11v23

I am a short guy. Short guys have short arms. There are a lot of things that I cannot do because I have short arms. Several times a week I have to call one of the boys for help to reach something I can’t reach.

Moses was facing yet another situation. The people had despised God by their whinging and complaining. They had literally despised God by not being satisfied with what he provided. When God told Moses that the people would have meat. Moses looked at the fact that he had 600,000 men plus their wives and children. How could about 4 million people be fed meat for month? They would have to kill all of the flocks or catch all of the fish to do that.

Moses had forgotten Who he was working with. God had already parted the Red Sea, provided fresh water, and given daily manna. He thought that God’s hand was too short to meet the needs and do what He said. God never finds Himself to short for any task.

God was about to act. His arm is never shortened to provide or to judge. Nothing is impossible with God Whose hand is never shortened.
