Jeremiah 32:42-44 - Is anything too difficult for the Lord?

God’s clearest assurance to Jeremiah concerning why He told the prophet to buy the land can be found in Jeremiah 32:42-44. As sure as He had brought calamity on Judah by the hand of the Babylonians, He would also restore the land and prosper it. Everything would return to normal. The real estate business would become active again in Judah, the land that Jeremiah lamented and declared would be a desolation and devoid of man and beast. What Jeremiah had been instructed to do will be replicated. Many would be doing exactly as he had asked the prophet to do. God's clearest assertion of His promise can be seen in verse 44. He said, “Men will buy fields for money, sign and seal deeds, and call in witnesses in the land of Benjamin, in the environs of Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland and in the cities of the Negev; for I will restore their fortunes.”  

Like what He expected of Jeremiah, God also expects each one of us to take Him and His words. Remember that as these words were being declared to Jeremiah, the latter was held in custody and languishing in the guard house in the palace. What's confronting Jeremiah was whether he would trust what God had declared in His rhetorical question in verse 26. “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” 

This is the same question God is asking us today. Whatever our personal struggles in life may be, God's question is: “Is anything too difficult for Me?” Failing marriage? Financial crisis? Relationship struggles? These and all other issues in life the question God ask of you is “Is anything too difficult for Me?” In Isaiah 40:28-31, God puts His assurance this way:                    
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.

Therefore, as the Apostle Paul urged us to do in Philippians 4:6-7, we must “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let our requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus." As we see the chaos surrounding the nations, this is what we
