Connect Jeremiah 32:26 with another scripture highlighting God's power and sovereignty. Setting the Scene Jeremiah sits in a besieged city, holding the deed to a field God told him to buy (Jeremiah 32:1-15). On every side, Babylon seems unstoppable, yet the Lord interrupts Jeremiah’s thoughts with a fresh word. The Word of the Lord “Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: ‘Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is any matter too difficult for Me?’” • Context: God grounds His promise of Israel’s future restoration in His own unlimited power. • Key truth: Because He is “the God of all flesh,” nothing—military siege, national collapse, personal crisis—stands outside His sovereign reach. Parallel Passage “Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you—in about a year—and Sarah will have a son.” • Same divine question, centuries earlier, spoken to Abraham and Sarah when a barren womb confronted God’s promise. • Pattern revealed: whether birthing a nation through an aged couple or preserving a remnant through exile, God consistently stakes His credibility on doing what humans deem impossible. • Sovereignty on display: He orders times and seasons, orchestrates kingdoms, and overrules biology—all by His spoken word. Timeless Truths • God’s power is absolute: “The LORD does whatever pleases Him in heaven and on earth” (Psalm 135:6). • God’s purposes never fail: “He works all things according to the counsel of His will” (Ephesians 1:11). • God’s question exposes unbelief: impossibility exists only from a human viewpoint, never from His. Living It Out • When circumstances feel like Babylon’s siege, remember the field deed—visible proof that God’s promises outlive present crises. • Anchor hope in His character, not in odds or optics. The same voice that opened Sarah’s womb and later raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11) still speaks. • Respond with obedient faith, acting on His word even before you see the fulfillment, confident that no purpose of His can be thwarted (Job 42:2). |
