“Nothing is Too Hard”

May 9, 2026 Daily Devotional: “Nothing is Too Hard” Jeremiah 32:27 ​ "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" ​ There is chaos in this context, as we truly feel the weight of this verse, we have to look at where Jeremiah was when he heard it. He wasn’t sitting in a peaceful garden or a quiet sanctuary. He was in prison. Outside the walls, the Babylonian army was laying siege to Jerusalem. The economy was collapsing, thepolitical structure was crumbling, and the future looked utterly extinguished.​In the middle of this literal war zone, God told Jeremiah to do something nonsensical in buying a piece of land. To any onlooker, buying real estatein a city about to be destroyed was a waste of money. But it was a prophetic act of hope. Jeremiah obeyed, but then he prayed, essentially asking, "Lord, why did I just do that? Everything is falling apart." ​ The Divine rhetorical when God responds not with a detailed 10-step plan, but with a question that shifts the perspective from the problem to the Procurer:"Is anything too hard for me?" God isn't just saying He can handle the "difficult" tasks on our to-do lists; He is asserting that the word "impossible" doesn't exist in His vocabulary. ​ We often approach God with our reasonable requests—the things we think are within the realm of possibility. We hesitate to bring Him the "dead" things:the marriage that seems beyond repair, the addiction that has lasted decades, or the dream that has been buried under layers of disappointment. ​Jeremiah 32:27 reminds us that God is the "God of all mankind." His jurisdiction isn't limited by our circumstances, our past, or the current state of the world. If He can promise a future in the middle of a siege, He can provide a path through your current valley. What is the one situation in your life right now that you’ve labeled as "impossible"? What act of "obedience in the dark" is God asking of you?​ Shift your gaze and meditate on Jeremiah 32:27 as aninvitation to stop measuring the mountain and start measuring the One who made it.
