Connect Numbers 11:23 with another Bible verse about God's omnipotence. Setting the Scene Moses, overwhelmed by the people’s craving for meat in the wilderness, voices his doubts. God responds with a gentle but penetrating challenge. Numbers 11:23 — The Lord’s Arm Questioned “But the LORD answered Moses, ‘Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.’” Jeremiah 32:17 — The Same Arm Exalted “Ah, Lord GOD! You Yourself made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm; nothing is too difficult for You!” Threads That Tie These Verses Together • Shared imagery: “arm” signifies divine strength and sovereign action. • Both contexts feature human impossibility met by divine capability. • God links His promise to His limitless power—first to feed Israel in the desert, later to assure Jeremiah of national restoration. • The rhetorical force: in Numbers, the question exposes doubt; in Jeremiah, the confession eliminates it. Further Echoes of Omnipotence • Job 42:2 — “I know that You can do all things and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.” • Luke 1:37 — “For nothing will be impossible with God.” • Isaiah 59:1 — “Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.” Living in the Light of His Power • God’s “arm” remains as mighty today as in Moses’ or Jeremiah’s day. • Promises anchored in His omnipotence invite unwavering trust. • Daily obedience flows from the certainty that no circumstance exceeds His reach or strength. |
