SUBJECT: THERE IS NOTHING HARD FOR THE LORD! 

Memory verse: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 32 vs 27.)

READ: Genesis 18 vs 14; Jeremiah 32 vs 17: 

Genesis 18:14: 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.

Jeremiah 32:17: Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You:

INTIMATION:

Have you ever felt stuck in a season of life, confused and without purpose? But through it all, God has never ceased from being God!  For He delights in taking the seemingly impossible and with His limitless power, makes things possible! God has displayed many times throughout the Bible the power of His strength. In the Book of Genesis, God tells Abraham and Sarah that they will have a child. Both were skeptical of God’s power. From their perspective, it seemed impossible or “too hard” for them to have a child at their old ages. With this suggested thought Abraham was puzzled.  And seeing him in his puzzlement God asked, "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" 

Despite Abraham and Sarah’s skepticism, God blesses them with a baby boy, who they named Isaac. When Isaac was born, Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old. It is understandable as to why Abraham and Sarah would be doubtful of God’s promises; however, just as God says, nothing is too hard for Him. If God can provide the way for an elderly couple to have a child, then God can do anything.

Also, Jeremiah the prophet gives the answer: "There is nothing too hard for You." So I say to you, God’s power is limitless, and thus His promises are providentially secure, therefore, there is no promise too hard for Him to keep. In the Bible, there are over thirty thousand promises, and God will keep His Word. If God made the promise, He cannot lie. There is no promise too hard for God to keep.

Nothing is too hard for God, including being incarnate as a man, living on the earth, dying for the sins of the world, and being resurrected from the dead. If God could do this, then He can do anything. It’s amazing how much we can doubt God in the little things of life, yet we know we can rely on Him for salvation and forgiveness. Since God can do anything and nothing is too hard for Him, we can trust Him and rely on Him.

In addition, there is no prayer too hard for God to answer. Jesus said in Matthew 21 vs 22, "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." When you ask in prayer and believe, you will receive. Because there is no situation too hard for God to solve. But if you have an unwilling spirit, or an unconcerned attitude, you can limit our Almighty God. Because with such an ungodly attitude, being that there is nothing too hard for God, let me tell you, that you are binding the hands that want to bless you!

Sometimes in life, we will question, as to, why some things take so long.  God’s Word say it best, “… My thought are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways says the LORD” (Isaiah 55 vs 8). So in life, there are lessons to be learned, and that no matter what the circumstance might be, God is molding and shaping us for His purpose. Faith is the channel through which the risen Lord pours His life into you. If you refuse to believe, you refuse God entry!

I am a big dreamer. I have a lot of big dreams in my life, and I have seen God fulfill many of them in my life. In essence He says, “I do not care how much you dream, I can still top what you are dreaming. I am bigger than the thought that I gave you, because, I can dream bigger than your mind can ever conceive! So yesterday’s impossibilities are today’s miracles. God specializes in the impossible! He is a competent Father, and there is nothing too hard for Him! When men come to the point of human impossibility God’s grace is manifested. God specializes in working through us to achieve the impossible situations in our daily lives that would be hopeless if we need to handle them with our limited strength. 

God doesn’t need much from us to accomplish His plan for our lives. Focusing on our human predicament may paralyze us because the situation may appear humanly impossible. But concentrating on God and His power will help us see the way out. Right now you may feel unable to see through your troubles. Focus instead on God, and trust Him for the way out. That is all He needs to begin His work in you. 

“Is there anything too hard for the Lord?” The obvious answer is, “Of course not!” The question reveals much about God. Make it a habit to insert your specific needs into the question. “Is this day in my life too hard for the Lord?” “Is this habit I’m trying to break too hard for Him?” “Is the communication problem I’m having too hard for Him?” Asking the question this way reminds you that God is personally involved in your life and nudges you to ask for His power to help you. 

If you are going through a difficult time today, understand that nothing is too hard for God. Whether that be an illness, a job interview, or a declining friendship, God can work miracles. Nothing is too hard for God — nothing.

Even if it seems too difficult for us, it is not too difficult for God. The Lord created the earth, the heavens, the animals, and mankind. He has also provided the way for us to obtain eternal life by placing faith in His death, burial, and resurrection. If God can do all these, He can truly do anything. 

In our own abilities, many things seem too hard. On a daily basis, it is easy for us to forget God’s unlimited power, but this should not be. We need to be constantly looking back to God and trusting in His mighty power. As Christians, we cannot be tossed and thrown around anytime something bad happens. Instead, we have to stand firm in the faith and not give up.

We will come across many difficult times over the course of our lives, and we will be discouraged at times; however, we need to remember the truth that nothing is too hard for God.

Whenever you find yourself doubting God, remind yourself of this truth — nothing is too hard for God. His love for you far exceeds anything in all creation. Nothing can separate us from God’s love (Romans 8 vs 35 - 39). Since God has so much love for all of us, we can be certain that He will always come to help us. Nothing is too hard for God. Everything that happens in our life is not allowed without God’s permission.

Even bad things that happen in our lives have a purpose. God works all things out for our good even if we don’t understand it at the time (Romans 8 vs 28).

Prayer: Abba Father, nothing is too hard for You to accomplish. By You all things consist. Your love for me is inexplicable though undeniable. My absolute trust, and total confidence is in You. What You cannot give me, may I never have it. What You cannot do for me, let it remain undone, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
