June 16, 2023: Is Anything To Hard For The Lord?

"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Ge 18:14 ESV).

The answer to the question is a resounding "NO!" Nothing is too hard for the Lord. Sarah laughed because of the impossibility of the situation. Abraham is old. Sarah is old. Children are born when their parents are strong. Sarah had a reason to laugh because having children at her age seemed very unreasonable.

Has God ever asked you to do something that seemed very unreasonable? Have you ever heard God say something that seemed impossible for you to do? Moses thought God had the wrong man when God called him to deliver Israel from Egypt. Gideon thought God had the wrong man when God called him to deliver Israel. Sarah thought God's timing was off in promising her a child in old age.
    
It is interesting how God chooses people and works through people who would not be the right choice in the natural. But the reality is, nothing is too hard for the Lord! God is looking for those like Mary who respond in faith in the face of impossible situations. She simply said, "Let it be unto me according to your word." When we realize how powerful God is, we have to say, like the angel to Mary, "For with God, nothing will be impossible."   
    
We forget He is the Creator. He creates something out of nothing simply by the word of His mouth. Nothing is too hard for the Lord!
