Scripture…
Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.
Genesis 18:14
Thoughts…
Is anything too hard for the Lord? That should be an easy question. We should be able to quickly answer with a very small word. It is simply yes or no. So, why is it that every single time I read it my head begins to spin out of control?
Now that question I can answer pretty quickly. It has nothing to do with doubt in God or His abilities. I don’t ever struggle with what God is capable of doing. I firmly believe God knows all and is able to do anything He wants to do. I never question whether can God do something. I never utter the phrase, “God can’t.” I even correct correct people when they say, “God can’t lie.” No, the truth is God won’t lie. The minute you put ‘can’t’ in the equation, you are saying God is not all-powerful. There is nothing too hard for God.
No, my doubt never lies in the ‘can’. My trouble begins in the will, how, and when. My guess is, I am not alone. It is in these questions my faith is truly tested. It is here where my thoughts can turn into hysterical laughter. It is here where God listens to my laughter and reminds me that one day we will both look back and see what He has done.
For today, I need to look back and remind myself of all that He has already brought me through. I need to have faith that He will take care of me again. I need to wait with great excitement on the when and how. Because NOTHING is too hard for God!
Prayer…
Lord, they say laughter is the best medicine. Today, let my laughter not be in doubt. Let my laughter be aimed at the enemy for thinking they can be stronger than You. ~amen
