“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27(NIV)
You may be searching for answers to a difficult situation in your life that has taken so long to the extent that you given up all hope in the Lord Almighty. You may have been declared hopeless by physicians because of an incurable disease or condition. You may be unemployed for a long time and there is no hope of been employed even though you have been searching vigorously. You may be looking for a child for a long time and all visits to the specialists have failed to yield any results. You may have attempted to pass a professional exam several times but you have not yet succeeded and the years are running away so fast. You may be running a business but you are not making any profit so you want to give it up.
Today, I want you to have a change of heart by acknowledging that all you efforts have failed but the Lord never fails if you wholeheartedly believe in Him. He declares, “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? " There is nothing that is impossible when God is at the helm of your affairs. Things may be hard for you but with Him all things are possible. He created the heavens and the earth out of nothing, so He alone can turn nothing into something. How you see God is what will influence the extent to which you can trust Him to perform. It is a personal experience with Him that will expedite the performance of His deeds in your life. I pray that you will see Him as an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God.
In Luke 8:43-48, we read about the woman who had the issue of blood for twelve good years.
43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
When all had failed, this woman never gave up hope. She knew that there was still the possibility to receive her healing if she stopped trusting in man and trust in the Lord. She needed just a little touch from Jesus, because she knew in her heart that Jesus was the Lord, the God of all mankind and nothing was too hard for him. It was that faith in Jesus ability to perform miracles that brought her everlasting healing. She left the presence of Jesus being assured that the condition would return no more. Jesus told her to "be of good comfort", that is, not to worry because she had come to the right person, the right place, and the right time. She was to go home in peace with no more pain or sorrow, but with great joy.
When you have an encounter with the Lord, you find great joy and solace because you know that the Lord cares about your needs and He provides them. Trust in the Lord and cast all your burdens on Him for He will bring you times of refreshment to your mind, body, and soul.
Wait upon the Lord and your redemption and deliverance will accomplished in Jesus' name.
