Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

Today, I want to temporarily step away from the Leper and the Lamb and talk about the important topic of trusting God.

One hot day in the land of Israel the Lord was talking with Abraham in the shade of a great tree. The Lord suddenly said to Abraham, "Sarah your wife will have a son." Because she was 90 years old, Sarah laughed. Sure enough, the next year the old woman gave birth to the promised child. If this had not transpired the Nation of Israel would not be here today. As servants, we have heard things of God that makes us laugh. These things are impossible in our life but we must learn not to laugh. Remember all the great things that our God has done. Somehow, our belief in God should grow so that everyday we tell ourselves, "There is nothing too hard for the Lord."

Many times people will ask how to gain the knowledge needed to comprehend what God wants in our life. There are many answers to this, but usually when we question someone that is having trouble serving the Lord, we find that they actually have other priorities in their life. A person that really wants to put God first in their life will begin to learn the things of God rather quickly. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2 Cor 4:6) The Almighty has decreed that people can have His knowledge. The knowledge always comes through Christ. This means that the only obstruction to learning from God is the individual themselves.

Is anything too hard for the Lord? It is possible to reach out to others for God, but we must listen to the Spirit. Of course, we prepare ourselves but then submit to the directions given by God's spirit. The Scriptures says, But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 2 Cor 2:14,35 We personally do not have the power to save other people but the Spirit dwelling in us is able to touch the hearts of others. God will "spread the knowledge of Himself" through us.

With the knowledge of God we possess, there comes a warning, as with most things God give us. Paul said, We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. (1 Cor 8:1) The warning about God-given knowledge is that our human natures wants us to take credit for something that God has given for the benefit of His Kingdom. The answer is to remember that everything must be done in the love of God. Everything that we learn from God is building our faith and making it possible to believe that there is nothing too hard for our Lord.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. (2 Pet 1:3,4)

No matter what it looks like...believe it is not too hard for the Lord.
