Nothing Too Hard for You
“‘Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”
A PRAYER IN THE MIDDLE OF A SIEGE
Jeremiah prays these words while Jerusalem is besieged by the Babylonian army — he had just bought a field at God's command, an act of faith in the middle of catastrophe.
STARTING WITH CREATION
Before asking for anything, Jeremiah remembers who God is — the one who made the heavens and the earth. Right prayer often starts by recalling God's power, not our need.
GREAT POWER, OUTSTRETCHED ARM
The two images together — power and outstretched arm — evoke the exodus from Egypt itself, recalling that this is a God with a proven track record of acting for his people.
A LOGICAL CONCLUSION
'Nothing is too hard for you' isn't a leap of blind faith — it's the inevitable conclusion of someone who has already acknowledged that God created everything that exists.
BUYING A BESIEGED FIELD
Buying land in a city about to fall looked like financial madness — but it was a prophetic sign that restoration would come, even after the promised exile.
