“ I prayed unto the LORD, saying, Ah Lord GOD! behold...there is nothing too hard for thee...Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying...is there any thing too hard for me?”
(Jer. 32:16-17;26-27)
Although there are harder materials, one of the hardest natural stones on earth is granite, hence the old adage, when referring to a person or thing, “They’re harder than granite.” Jeremiah in his dire situation reminds God that nothing's too hard for God, which our Lord affirms. Dear reader, are you this day, so to speak, between a rock and a hard place? Then look to God!
When Abraham and Sarah were waxed old and way past childbearing, God promised them a son, Gen. 18:10. Sarah, like many of us, used her natural reasoning, which brought on a laugh, verse 12. But God always gets the last laugh, Prov. 1:26. God asked her that all-important question, that sooner or later we all must answer, “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?” verse 14.
There is no question too hard for Him to answer; ask the Queen of Sheba, (1 Kgs. 10:1,3). There is no saying too hard for Him to interpret: ask His disciples (Jn. 6:60,56,63). There is no prayer too hard for Him to answer; ask Elisha (2 Kgs. 2:9-10). There is no heart too hard that He cannot soften it; ask His people Israel (Ezk. 26:36). Remember: He is God of the jackhammer!
