“Nothing Too Hard For Our God”
by Dona Hake
Jeremiah 32:17 (VOICE)
“Eternal Lord, with Your
outstretched arm and Your enormous power You
created the heavens and the earth.
Nothing is too difficult for You.”
Today let us ponder the greatness of the God that we serve. He is great and greatly to be praised! The works of His hands and the many testimonies of His love speak of His ability to do great things. There is not one thing too difficult or too big of a problem for Him to solve. It is when we lose sight of this that we see our problems or circumstances to be too big of a mountain for His Hands to deal with. Let us rest and wait upon Him for His strength and His answers rather than our own. My heart was reflecting upon this scripture as I was pondering this truth. Let us look at Isaiah 40:28-31…
“Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become tired or grow weary;
There is no searching of His understanding.
Does not become tired or grow weary;
There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who has no might He increases power.
And to him who has no might He increases power.
Even youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired.”
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired.”
Oh how very sad it is that there are those that have convinced themselves that God does not exist, and they are trying to explain away the wondrous things He created with His hands and the power of His spoken Word. If they can convince themselves that God does not exist, they can live by their own standards, and decide what is right and wrong for themselves.
Let us shine as wondrous lights on a hill for all to see. Look for opportunities today to share His love and testimonies in your life. May we be living testimonies for this world to see that a great, powerful and Mighty God is alive and doing wondrous things among His people. Today my prayer for you is that you walk with an awareness of His presence being with you, and that He will do above and beyond all you dare ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20)
