No problem too difficult ?

I was in the library during my lunch hour on the same day that I decided to cut out the scripture cards (please refer to first post for background). I was thinking and praying about a certain thing I was struggling with. I said something like, “Well God, I don’t know how you are going to help me with this one, but I know you can and you will”. Guess what the first scripture card on the top of the stack was that I picked up that night?

Lie:  This problem is too big for God
Truth:  No problem is too difficult for God
Scripture Jeremiah 32:17 “O sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!” (NLT)

Wow… coincidence ? I don’t think so !  It is true that no problem is too difficult for God.

How can I become part of the solution as maybe, well, most likely, part of the solution to this particular problem does lie with me. Will I do what I feel, or should I say know, that God is leading me to do either in my way of thinking about the problem, or in action I need to take? Will I cooperate with Him so that I will obtain that which I so long for? Even though it may be very difficult for me, in the sense that it may cost me, I have to die to self, allow myself to become vulnerable. At the same time I must always remember, every step I take, God takes with me right beside me all the way. I know that by His power and enabling, I will have the victory.

Have you believed the lie that the problem you face is too big for God? Whatever your problem is the bible tells us that there is nothing too difficult for the sovereign Lord who created the heavens and earth by His strong hand and powerful arm!

  1. I like you believe that there is no problem too big for God...My problem is a lack of patience on my part while handling them...And then again...God may want me to have and live through the problem for a while longer...we certainly grow during tough times...
