“Is there anything too hard for me (God)…there is nothing too hard for thee (Jeremiah).”~ Jer. 32:27,17
If you will read the context of our story you’ll find the conversation between God and Jeremiah was while the latter was shut up and shut in prison. We’re told, “The Word of the Lord came unto him.” How often God speaks to His children in such dire circumstances. It led the prophet to describe his Lord as being “…the great, and Mighty God.”
This all leads up to one of the Bible’s most precious promises, in the next chapter. Chapter 33, verses 1 and 3, “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying… “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
Paul made all of life’s problems like molehills, in spite of them seemingly appearing as mountains. “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,”~ Eph. 3:20. Sounds a lot like the text in Jeremiah, doesn’t it?
As D.L. Moody would say, “The devil can wall us in, but he can’t put a roof on it!”
I know when I started my journey 47 years ago everything seemed like a mountain to me. It took me a few years to realize that there are people that have a lot bigger problems than I had. Jeremiah 33:3 was a verse that I quoted when times seemed impossible.
God solved the biggest problem we ever had at Calvary 2,000+ years ago. He can surely takes us through any crisis that may arise along the way.
