Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?

Can you without a doubt say “No, there is NOTHING too hard for the Lord”? I’ve seen the Lord show up in my life time and time again. I’ve seen Him work, I’ve seen Him provide, I’ve seen Him heal and restore and yet sometimes my faith seems so weak. There’s just no way. The circumstances don’t match up. The diagnosis is too big. The relationship is too broken. I just don’t see Him working this out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” The Lord asks this question of Abraham after He promises for the fourth time that Sarah will birth a son. Sarah overheard the Lord make this promise to Abraham and she laughed. At this time Sarah was already well past her child bearing years. She had waited and hoped and prayed and so when she hears the Lord say she will have a son she laughed and thought to herself, “After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?” (Genesis 18:12). The Lord says to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (vs 14) And then he makes the promise for the fifth time: “I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I often think that because something doesn’t happen in my timing or in my way then there’s no chance for it. I lose hope and I get easily discouraged. Genesis 21 says the Lord was gracious to Sarah and did for her what He had promised. She become pregnant and bore a son at the very time He had promised. Sarah was 90 years old at that time. I’m sure she had no plans to have a child at that point in her life and had lost complete hope, even though we see in scripture that God promises her five times before He fulfills His promise. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We see His promises fulfilled time and time again in scripture and often we doubt because it’s not in our timing or how we thought it would look. Let us remember that He is the God of promises, He holds true, His timing is perfect and that nothing is too hard for the Lord.
