It is easy for God

And this is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. – 2 Kings 3v18

The triumvirate of kings from Israel, Edom, and Israel were wisely seeking God’s wisdom before a response to Moab’s rebellion against Israel. They went to Elisha who told them that they would prevail, but that they had to build a series of fortified moats in the dry valley. There was a problem though – there was no water to fill the moats.

Problem? Not really. ‘This is a simple matter in the sight of the Lord.’

Wouldn’t it be great if we could always keep this in mind when we find ourselves in difficult situations? What if every time we faced what seemed like an impossible task we could remember that it is a simple thing for God to handle?

The things that seem impossible to us are easy for Him. There is nothing that is too hard for the Lord.

What are you facing at the moment? Does it seem insurmountable? Remember – these things are easy for the Lord.
