Jeremiah 32:27


"'Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?'"
Jeremiah 32:27 (NKJ)

    I love how there are so many verses like this in the prophet books; sentences where the Lord speaks so frankly. A lot of the time the statements are actually sad--because these are the prophecies where God is giving warnings of imminent judgment--but there are also plenty of verses like this one, where God's kind, loving heart shines so clearly!
    "Is there anything too hard for Me?" There's something really personal about the phrasing of it, a soft kind of tone in the words that hints of fatherliness. And of course, we all know the answer to this rhetorical question. There's nothing too difficult for the Lord to build, accomplish, or bring us through; there's nothing He can't do. This lovely verse is a solid assurance that we can depend on Him, and it's given with very kindly words.
    Don't you love verses like this? :)
