THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR ME

Ah Lord GOD! Behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee” Jeremiah 32:17 KJV

Without even being told, we should know that there is nothing too hard for God. We popularly describe God as the Creator of heaven and earth but we fail to keep to mind what that phrase implies. Genesis records that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. He didn’t construct them out of sand or blocks or iron rods or any material. After creating the earth Genesis further records that it was without form and void. What was the next point of action for God? And God said...

From that simple act of God, so many things were created out of nothing. Light, the seas, the plants, the heavenly bodies to mark the times and seasons, all the sea creatures, the flying birds and land animals, and man. God was able to bring forth all these from a formless and void place. 

Consider a house, it is made up of different building materials that have to be made from something. Consider a car, it is made up of different parts that have to be assembled. Those parts themselves are made from materials. Basically everything that is created has to be created from something tangible. Nothing can be created out of nothing.

The story of creation just gives a taste of how unlimited God is. Jeremiah 32:27 KJV says “Behold I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” Luke 1:37 KJV says “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”  Nothing shall be impossible not only means that all things are possible, it also means that all things are done with ease. That is the God that we serve. A God who enabled a woman of 90 to conceive and bring forth a child naturally. AA God who made Solomon the wealthiest man at the time and that record still remains unmatched till date. Awho stopped the fire from consuming Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. A God who closed the mouth of the lion when Daniel was thrown into the lions den. A God who made it possible for a virgin to conceive. There is nothing too hard for Him.

A God who can reveal things that are to happen even in the furthest future today. Unto Abraham, He revealed that His people will spend a number of years in a strange land—the Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. Unto Abraham, He revealed that His descendants shall be like the sands and stars—today, not only the Israelites descend from Abraham but all Christians are the seed of Abraham. Unto Joseph He revealed that His kindred will bow down before him—his brothers bowed down before him in Egypt many years later. Unto Isaiah, He revealed His plan to come to earth and this eventually came to pass so many years later, long after the lifetime of Isaiah. He is also the revealer of secrets—to Joseph, He revealed the meaning of Pharaoh’s dream and to Daniel, he revealed both the king's dream and its interpretation. There is nothing too hard for God.

Even when He walked on earth, He was still in the business of doing the “impossible”. I place impossible in quote because they were only considered impossible to men. He healed the sick, He fed multitudes by multiplying little provisions, He opened blind eyes, He cast out demons, He salvaged all of creation, He raised the dead, in fact, He didn’t just raise the dead, He also raised the decomposing. Even the touch of His garment was able to put a stop to a prevailing sickness. There is nothing too hard for God.

What more? With His departure from earth, He still sent down His Spirit to come upon all the disciples. Not only that, to also come upon anyone who believes and is ready to accept Him. 

Even when He isn’t physically present on earth, He isn’t limited. This is because He is omnipresent. He is everywhere at the same time. Space and time can’t limit His power. Millions of people call upon Him second by second and He is able to hear us all. He is able to answer millions of prayers. There is nothing too hard for God.

Medically, my wife possessed all features to strongly suggest that she would find it difficult to conceive. But because with God all things are possible, not only did she conceive without any difficulty, all her labours went ridiculously easy. 

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. There was nothing impossible for Him yesterday, there is nothing impossible for Him today and nothing shall ever be impossible for Him. That situation you think there is no way out of, that burden you have been carrying, that sin you have been struggling with, that problem you have been battling with. Why don’t you take them all to God? There is nothing too hard for Him. 

You have tried many options, you have tried to figure it out on your own and so far, you haven’t achieved much. Don’t you think it’s time to let go and allow God? A part of a popular hymn goes thus “Let Your Holy Spirit come and take control of every situation that has troubled my life. All my cares and burdens unto You, I roll...” Why don’t you roll all the things you have been struggling with over the past years, or months or days. Roll them over to God. 1 Peter 5:7 KJV says “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” God is telling you this moment that He can change your situation and He can turn your life around. He is God indeed and there is nothing too hard for Him.
