Mon., 1/17/22 Devotion (Gen. 18:14a)

Today's encouragement comes from Genesis 18:14a, where we read these great words:

"Is anything too hard for the LORD? . . . "

Usually, when we consider this well-known phrase, we do not think in high enough terms. We might be musing, "Could God give me a million dollars?"; when, in fact, we ought to be asking, "Could God actually deliver me, a sin-ner, who is hopelessly lost in and of myself?"

Nothing is too hard for God, because no amount of glory is too great for the honor and majesty of our Lord Jesus Christ—the One who has miraculously provided atonement for all the people of His church. No matter what we face today—it really is *not* “too hard for the LORD."

[Puritan quote of the day: "It never came into God's thoughts to make a New Covenant upon terms of worthiness. If God should show mercy to none but such as are worthy, then must He show mercy to none.” —Thomas Watson, in, "A Body of Divinity"]
