Genesis 18:14 “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
The question that begins this verse comes with both a certain answer and a strict caution. There is no thing of any kind that is too hard for the Lord. At the same time, we must know that it is God that prompts us to believe or do the thing that is seemingly too hard.
Some may believe God for big things that He has no intention of doing, because they are not His will. Let us rejoice in the knowledge that even the most impossible desires of God are fulfilled, but be certain it is God’s desire we are seeking. In this situation the voice of the Lord was unmistakable, but it is not always that way.
Perhaps this verse could rally a congregation behind an extravagant church building program. Is it impossible for God to pay off a large debt? No, but is it God’s will to become indebted? Embrace the truth of this verse’s question, but let us not abuse it.
Genesis 18:14 “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
