Sarah was eavesdropping on a conversation between the Lord and her husband Abraham. The discussion was about the couple giving birth to a son even though both were over 90 years old. Sarah was so amused that the Lord overheard her giggling. That’s when he asked this simple yes or no question. Is anything too hard for the Lord? Don’t you think I can pull this off? Is there something that might be too big for me to handle? In normal circumstances we can give an easy answer. But all too often our sinful nature creates doubt about God’s ability. In times of sickness, hurt, loneliness, want, or deep anxiety we often wonder if God really can rescue us. Consider today’s snippet. Then answer with a simple yes or no!
A word of wisdom for a sticky note:
“God doesn’t give us what we can handle.
God helps us handle what we are given!”
Today my prayer includes . . .
thanks for this special blessing:
concern for this special person:
petition for this special problem:
A closing verse:
When our minds are in a tumult,
And the world seems going wrong,
When our nerves are chafed and fretted,
And the day is far too long,
When each moment seems a burden,
And this life too hard to bear,
We can tell it all to Jesus,
He will every burden share.
