Is anything to hard for me?


“Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” - Jeremiah 32v26-27

Jeremiah found himself in a situation like many of us. He knew who God was, he knew what God could do, he knew enough to pray, He had faith, but when he looked around it did not seem that God was doing any of these things. The Chaldeans were still in control, the land still belonged to Babylon. In the midst of this God tested Jeremiah’s faith by telling him to purchase a plot of land that he had “ho hope” of using.

God answered Jeremiah’s question with something he already knew deep down. “I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is anything too hard for me?” God’s questions was clearly rhetorical, He knew the answer and He knew that Jeremiah knew the answer – nothing at all is impossible for God.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the same things Jeremiah needed. No matter what we see in our circumstances we must trust God enough to know that there is NOTHING that He cannot do. Therefore, in His perfect plan, He is allowing our circumstances to be there to work out His purpose. Our perspective is not enough, God can do anything and He acts according to His perfect will.
