Is anything too hard for the Lord?

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." – Genesis 18v14

Today is a follow on to both Abraham and Sarah doubting God and laughing at Him. When they laughed at God He responded with a very simple question – ‘Is anything to hard for the Lord?’

What a great rhetorical question, and the answer is obvious. ‘With God nothing is impossible.’ (Matthew 19v26)

Every time we doubt God in a situation we say that things are too hard for Him. We say that the God who created the universe can’t handle the situation we are facing. We are saying that the I AM is too small for our problems.

What gives us the idea that the I AM is too small and weak for our own dilemmas? Why do we think that God could part the Red Sea and provide manna in the wilderness can not take care of our needs?

I think the reason is pretty simple. It is because we are focused on us. We want God to act our way and in our time. We are so sure that we are so smart that we know best.

Well, when we think that way we are wrong. God’s way and God’s time are always, 100% of the time, the best way.

The end of the verse seals it, and it is a concept we would do well to remember. ‘At the right time,’ God says, ‘I will return to you and Sarah shall have a son.’

There it is. God made a promise. He will fulfil it. Nothing is too hard for Him. Not even that unsolvable situation you are facing today. In His timing God will fulfil His promise.
