Today's Scripture
“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 18:14
“There is nothing too hard for thee.”
Jeremiah 32:17
NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THEE
Have you ever heard someone make a promise that seemed unrealistic? Maybe you
even laughed to yourself when you heard it. God likes to make promises that seem like
they would be impossible to keep, at least, from our human point of view, but God
keeps ALL His promises, not some but ALL because He is GOD and doesn't lie.
Do you know what 89 year old Sarah did when she overheard God saying that she
would be a mother? She laughed to herself. A er I am worn out and my master is old,
will I now have this pleasure? Sarah didn t believe it. She doubted it. She didn t think
that God could do something like that. And you know what? There s a little bit of Sarah
inside YOU and I.
Even though Sarah doubted Him, a year later, at the age of 90, she had a baby. Can you
imagine an older woman walking around with a baby? Oh, is that your grandson?
No, this is my son. What? But that s how God works. He loves to do this. He loves to
come to His people, people like you. He loves to make promises to you that seem way
beyond any possibility of happening. And then, as you struggle with your doubts, He
loves to forgive you and strengthen you as you look for God to keep His promises. God
is the same God who blessed Abraham and Sarah, a merciful and forgiving, patient
and powerful God, who does all these great things, just because He loves you.
Stop asking questions, stop raising doubts, and simply BELIEVE. What do we call that,
when you believe Gods impossible promises? We call that faith. Faith is believing that
nothing is too hard for the Lord. Faith is believing, even when everything in the world
tells you, God is lying .
And so, during those times in your life when you are struggling to believe the promises
of God, when you nd yourself in a very challenging situation, when you start
doubting that God is really going to keep His promises, during those times, remember
God says, Is anything too hard for the Lord? Absolutely there is nothing too hard for
God! Look past your circumstances today and look to God. The one who promised is
faithful, and He will bring it to pass!
Prayer
