“Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your
great power and by Your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too difficult for You.” — Jeremiah 32:17
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too
difficult for Me?” — Jeremiah 32:27
Sometimes worry grows from one root: “What if God can’t…?”
- What if He can’t provide?
- What if He can’t open the right door?
- What if He can’t turn things around?
- What if He can’t make a way in this situation? When circumstances look impossible, the heart begins to fear that God’s ability may not be enough. We wouldn’t say it out loud, but we feel it quietly: “Maybe this is too big. Maybe this is too complicated. Maybe this time the need is greater than God’s capacity to act.”
Into that fear, God speaks the same question He spoke to Jeremiah: “Is anything too difficult for Me?”
God does not ask this question to expose your doubt.
He asks it to restore your confidence.
Jeremiah prayed, “You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power.” Not merely the beauty of the sky — but the vastness of galaxies, the precision of orbits, the laws that govern stars. The universe exists because God spoke. And the God who sustains galaxies is the same God who sustains your life.
Ephesians 3:20 says that God is “able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.” His ability exceeds the borders of human imagination. His power is not measured by the size of your need, the complexity of your situation, or the limits of your understanding. For God, no door is too stuck. No path is too blocked. No situation is too tangled. No scarcity is too severe. No future is too uncertain. He does not look at your life and wonder how He will provide. He does not puzzle over solutions. He does not struggle to find resources or run calculations to see what is possible.
He simply knows what to do.
And here is the deeper truth beneath today’s passage: God’s power is always exercised through His goodness.
This is not raw, distant strength. It is the strength of a Father who loves His children. God’s power is not only vast; it is personal. Your situation may feel impossible. But impossibility is where God’s ability shines most clearly.
It was impossible for Sarah to conceive — yet God fulfilled His promise (Genesis 18:14). It was impossible for Israel to cross the Red Sea — yet God parted the waters (Exodus 14). It was impossible for Elijah to survive a famine — yet God fed him at the brook (1 Kings 17). It was impossible for the disciples to feed five thousand — yet Jesus multiplied bread (Matthew 14).
Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. Nothing today. Nothing tomorrow. Nothing in your story.
And He will use His power not only to provide for you, but to draw you deeper into His heart — because His greatest act of provision is always Himself.
