Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for Me?

Jeremiah 32:27, NKJV

It is easy to trust in the Lord when everything is going our way. When the sun is shining when we want it to shine, and when we receive rain when we want it to rain - life is good. God is in Heaven and we trust Him. But, when things do not go our way - especially when everything seems to be going against us, we begin to question God.

These are the very times that we need to realize that nothing is too hard for the Lord. He is the Creator and nothing can happen that He does not permit. This does not mean that evil people with free wills cannot do things that are contrary to His commands - it's just that His will is to allow men to choose while they walk this earth. So, sometimes, things happen to us that God does not prefer to happen, but which He allows.

Have you ever had a sick child and wondered why God has permitted it to be so? Or have you ever had an injustice committed against you and wondered why God would allow it to happen? The fact is that there are many such things that happen in life that we just do not understand, but these hard times also come with opportunity. The question is will we trust God or is our commitment to Him reserved only for those times when things go our way?

The fact is that things will not always go our way while we dwell in our physical bodies, but we must never forget this truth: There is nothing too hard for God. So, we pray for His will and we accept it - even when we don't quite understand it. We are going to Heaven and so are our loved ones , if we will live in faithful obedience during good times and bad. There will be trials in life, but God is good and He will take care of everything that we cannot handle because nothing is too hard for the Lord.

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

Jeremiah 32:17, NKJV
