Genesis 18:14
“Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
The Lord of the universe is amazing. He has created all things. The knowledge and power that He had in order to make everything perfectly so. What’s even more amazing is that He had the power to make man out of dust. All that I am able to make out of dust is mud, and with enough, maybe a fort. But the Lord was able to make something so complex that we do not even know all of the functions of it.
So what is too difficult for the Lord? When He promises us that He will take care of our physical needs if we put His kingdom first, do we trust that? Or do we worry and put the burden on ourselves? We sometimes are not better than Sarah when it comes to trusting in the Lord. We almost scoff at those who would trust in the Lord so much. They need to have a certain amount in their savings account, at least six months worth of bills. While there is nothing wrong with saving, since we know the Lord has promised provision mad (if we work) we do not have to get bent out of shape if something goes wrong.
Finally, we see that the Lord is able to do all things spiritually as well. While His tasks in the creation were amazing, it is even more incredible what He has done for our salvation. He was able to offer us forgiveness in a plan so divine that we can barely understand more than the basics of. So when we face a particularly rough path as far as our spiritual lives go, do we trust that God will provide a way of escape (1 Cor. 10:13)? Or do we assume that there is no way for us to beat any sin. We must trust in the Lord, and remember that with Him, nothing is too difficult.
