Jeremiah 32-33

Jeremiah 32-33

"“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27, NIV) That is a good question. Is anything to hard for God? The easy answer is of course not. But do we really live like that was the case. Do we live as if nothing is too hard for God? Do we trust Him when we don’t have a job and don’t know how the bills are going to get paid? Do we trust him when the medical report is not what we were hoping? Do we trust him when it seems like there is too much month at the end of the money? Is anything too hard for God?

God was about to disperse the Israelites and it did not look good for their future. When a nation is destroyed and dispersed they are not usually heard from again other than in the history books. But God sent Israel out with a promise. God said He would bring them back. He would establish them as His people once again.

"They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me for their own good and the good of their children after them." (Jeremiah 32:38-39, NIV) Is anything to hard for God? If He can destroy a nation and restore a nation, what can He do in our lives and the lives of our loved ones? Is anyone out of His reach? People who have run from God all their lives, people who have rejected God and lived for the world, they are not out of the grasp of God. He can bring anyone into His family.

We may give up, but God does not. They may be in exile, but God can bring them back. Our health may be shot, but God can restore us. Our finances may be in the red, but God can turn them around. Our job may be lost, but God can provide. Do we really believe nothing is too hard for God?
