GOD'S RESOURCES

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 NKJV)

 ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm There is nothing too hard for You. (Jeremiah 32:17 NKJV)

There is no doubt as to the identification of these three guests that suddenly appeared before the tent of Abraham. We are expressly told that "Jehovah appeared unto him." It was thus that our Lord anticipated His Incarnation. He came incognito, and "His delights were with the sons of men" (Proverbs 8:31). During His earthly life, He loved the homes of men, lodged with Peter and Zacchaeus, and in the home where Mary loved and Martha served. After His resurrection, He tarried with two of them in the village inn. So He will come to your heart and mine. Though He is the High and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, yet He will plead for admission to eat with us and we with Him (Revelation 3:20). But He often comes disguised as a stranger, hungry and athirst. Let us "run to meet Him," remembering Matthew 25:40.

God is no man's debtor; He always pays for His lodging, hence His promise to Sarah! She laughed with disbelief, but is anything too hard for the Lord? That is one of God's unanswered questions. It has confronted the human conscience all down the ages. Let's look away from the difficulties imposed by nature, to Him who holds the oceans in the hollow of His Almighty hand. Then we can stand with Him on the mountainside, and plead for Sodom; then God Himself will draw us on to ask for more and yet more, till, when our faith gives out, He will do something far in advance of all that we asked or thought.

PRAYER

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end. I pray it in Jesus' name, Amen.
