Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord? (By faith )
Introduction
Faith is the foundation of a believer’s relationship with God. When we face challenges that seem too big to overcome, doubt and unbelief can creep in, making those obstacles feel insurmountable. But Scripture repeatedly affirms that nothing is too hard for the Lord. The key to seeing the impossible become possible is to trust in God’s power and promises.
1. God's Unlimited Power
Genesis 18:14
"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."
- God promised Abraham and Sarah a son in their old age, despite their human limitations. God’s power isn't bound by our circumstances.
Genesis 18:14
"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."
- The creation of the heavens and the earth itself is undeniable evidence of God’s limitless power.
2. Faith Unlocks God's Miracles
Matthew 17:20
"If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
- Jesus teaches that even a small amount of faith can produce great results.
Mark 9:23
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
- Faith is the channel through which God’s power flows into our lives.
3. Unbelief Hinders God's Work
Matthew 13:58
"Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief."
- Jesus was limited in performing miracles in His own hometown because of their lack of faith.
James 1:6-7
"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord."
- Doubt creates a spiritual barrier, blocking blessings and answers to prayer.
4. Encouragement to Trust God
Hebrews 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
- Faith pleases God and is rewarded. When we come to Him, we must believe in His existence and His goodness.
Romans 4:20-21
"He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform."
- Abraham’s unwavering faith in God’s promise, despite how impossible it seemed, is a model for all believers.
5. Further Evidence of God's Power
Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
- This verse reminds us that the power to overcome our challenges is not our own, but comes from Christ.
Luke 1:37
"For with God nothing will be impossible."
