Nothing Too Hard

Today, let's explore one of the most powerful truths in Scripture: nothing is impossible with God. When circumstances seem insurmountable and dreams appear unreachable, we're invited to remember that our God specializes in making the impossible possible. Prepare your heart to receive fresh faith as we journey through this transformative meditation.
When Laughter Meets Divine Promise
In Genesis 17, we encounter Abraham at a pivotal moment. After God changed his name and promised him a son, Abraham fell on his face and laughed. At 100 years old, with Sarah at 90, the promise seemed medically impossible. His laughter wasn't born of joy but of disbelief.
"Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, 'Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?'" - Genesis 17:17
Sometimes when God reveals His plans for our lives, even we might find ourselves laughing in disbelief. The gap between our current reality and God's promise can seem so vast that laughter becomes our natural response. But God's promises aren't limited by our understanding or circumstances.
The God of Impossible Situations
God made it crystal clear to Abraham that this promise wasn't about Ishmael or any human effort. It was about Sarah, about them, about God's supernatural intervention in their lives.
"But God said, 'No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.'" - Genesis 17:19
When God speaks a promise over your life, He's not asking for your permission or your understanding. He's declaring His intention to move on your behalf. The speciality of our Lord is making the impossible possible.
When Others Laugh at God's Plans
In Genesis 18, we see another layer of this story unfold. When the Lord announced that Sarah would have a son, she too laughed to herself. Both Abraham and Sarah were well advanced in years, past the age of childbearing. Their bodies were as good as dead.
"So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, 'After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?'" - Genesis 18:12
Sarah's laughter revealed her complete disbelief. She questioned not just the possibility of having a child, but even the ability to experience marital intimacy at their age. Everything seemed medically, scientifically, and naturally impossible.
When you share God's plans for your life with others, don't be surprised if they laugh. People often measure God's promises by human limitations, financial capacity, or past experiences. But God's plans aren't confined to what others have seen before.
God is taking us to the next level where we and our generation will see things that have never been seen in previous generations.
God's Vision Beyond Human Understanding
Sometimes God plants extraordinary visions in our hearts that seem impossible to the natural mind. When God reveals His plans to me, for establishing a biblical island, a place where His Word can flourish and His kingdom principles can be demonstrated, people immediately respond based on what they can see. They assess financial situations, backgrounds, current capacity, and conclude that such dreams are impossible.
But their laughter reveals more about their limited perspective than about God's unlimited ability. When God speaks about creating spaces where biblical truth can be lived out in community, where His presence can dwell, and where His purposes can be fulfilled, He's not limited by human resources or understanding.
God is taking us to the next level where we and our generation will see things that have never been seen in previous generations.
Just because something hasn't happened in previous generations or in your neighborhood doesn't mean it won't happen for you. When God speaks something into existence, He will make it happen, regardless of human opinion or natural limitations.
The Divine Question That Changes Everything
God's response to Sarah's laughter contains one of the most powerful questions in Scripture:
"And the Lord said to Abraham, 'Why did Sarah laugh, saying, "Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?" Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.'" - Genesis 18:13-14
This question echoes throughout Scripture, reminding us of God's unlimited power. In Jeremiah, God declares:
"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" -- Jeremiah 32:27
And Jeremiah responds with beautiful faith:
"Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You." - Jeremiah 32:17
Your Willing Heart Meets God's Willing Power
The question isn't whether God is able, He absolutely is. The question isn't whether God is willing, He gave His only Son for you. The real question is: are you willing to believe that God will do the impossible in your life?
You might think your situation is medically impossible, scientifically impossible, or financially impossible. But there is nothing too hard for God. He is the God who created the entire universe by His spoken word. He is great in counsel and mighty indeed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of His children.
Nothing is too hard for God. He will make you do the impossible and take you to the next level.
Conclusion
Today, embrace the truth that nothing is too difficult for your God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The God who gave Abraham and Sarah a son in their old age is the same God who wants to work miracles in your life. Whether you're waiting for healing, breakthrough, provision, or restoration, remember that your God specializes in impossible situations. He is willing, He is able, and He is working on your behalf right now.
Reflect on This
What "impossible" situation in your life needs to be surrendered to God's unlimited power?
How can you shift from laughing in disbelief to laughing in anticipation of God's goodness?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You that nothing is too hard for You. I declare that You are the God of the impossible, and what seems impossible in my life is simply an opportunity for You to display Your glory. I surrender my doubts, my limitations, and my circumstances to Your unlimited power. I believe that You are willing and able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I can ask or think. Thank You for Your faithfulness and for the miracles You are working in my life right now. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Key Takeaways
God specializes in making the impossible possible, regardless of natural limitations.
When others laugh at God's plans for your life, remember they're measuring divine promises by human standards.
The question isn't whether God can do the impossible, but whether you're willing to believe He will.
Your current circumstances don't limit God's ability to work miracles in your life.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, what He did for Abraham and Sarah, He can do for you.
