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
‘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
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.
God's Daily Promise
Promise #264:
If you wait for Me, I will renew your strength.
Isaiah 40:31 (WEB)
31 But they that wait upon
the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
