Week 19

Nothing Is Too Hard

Jeremiah 32:16–27

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”

Jeremiah 32:16–27 (NKJV)

Jeremiah prays after buying a field while Jerusalem is under siege. The purchase appears irrational unless God’s promise is stronger than the visible collapse.

He begins with creation: the Lord made heaven and earth by great power. Faith recalls the scope of God’s strength before naming the particular impossibility.

Jeremiah also remembers covenant, exodus, justice, and human sin. God’s power is not raw force; it acts consistently with wisdom, holiness, and steadfast love.

Then the prophet admits confusion. The city is falling, yet God commanded him to purchase land. Reverence does not prevent honest questions; it brings them to the One who can answer.

God repeats Jeremiah’s confession as a question: ‘Is anything too hard for Me?’ The issue is not whether the situation is difficult, but whether difficulty can exceed divine ability.

Omnipotence does not mean God performs contradictions or acts against His nature. It means He possesses all power to accomplish everything His holy will intends.

The field becomes a sign that judgment will not be the final chapter. Houses and vineyards will again be possessed because God can create restoration beyond ruin.

Name the impossible place without demanding your preferred outcome. Obey the next clear instruction, and trust that no purpose of the Almighty can be frustrated.

In Conversation with A. W. Tozer

Tozer described omnipotence as God’s possession of all power, free from strain or limitation and always in harmony with His perfect nature.

Jeremiah shows the pastoral force of this truth. Divine power does not spare the prophet from perplexity, but it makes costly obedience and future hope reasonable amid collapse.

A Prayer

Holy God,

Almighty God, Maker of heaven and earth, nothing can exceed Your power or frustrate Your holy purpose.

Receive the questions I cannot resolve. Keep me from demanding that power serve my preferred outcome, and make me obedient to Your clear word.

Plant signs of hope through faithful action, and accomplish restoration according to Your wisdom and love. Amen.

Dwell This Week with God

Awaken to His presence.

Return often to Jeremiah 32:16–27. Read without hurry, and allow the truth of who God is to become larger than every lesser concern.

Ask prayerfullyWhat situation have I begun to treat as greater than God’s power or beyond His redemptive purpose?What faithful ‘purchase of a field’ might obedience require while outcomes remain unclear?
