Which other scriptures affirm God's power to accomplish the impossible? Setting the Scene: Genesis 18:14 “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.” Other Scriptures That Say It Straight Out • Jeremiah 32:17 – “Ah, Lord GOD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!” • Jeremiah 32:27 – “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?” • Numbers 11:23 – “The LORD answered Moses, ‘Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass.’” • Job 42:2 – “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.” • Psalm 115:3 – “Our God is in heaven and does whatever pleases Him.” • Psalm 135:6 – “The LORD does whatever pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.” • Isaiah 46:10 – “I declare the end from the beginning… I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’” • Luke 1:37 – “For nothing will be impossible with God.” • Mark 10:27 – “With man this is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.” • Matthew 19:26 – “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” • Luke 18:27 – “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” • Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” Snapshots of the Impossible Becoming Reality • A barren couple conceives (Genesis 21:1-2) • A sea parts for an entire nation (Exodus 14:21-22) • Bread falls from heaven daily (Exodus 16:4-5) • Jericho’s walls collapse at a shout (Joshua 6:20) • The sun stands still (Joshua 10:12-13) • A shepherd boy fells a giant (1 Samuel 17:45-50) • Ravens cater meals to Elijah (1 Kings 17:6) • Fire consumes a drenched altar (1 Kings 18:36-38) • A virgin bears the Messiah (Luke 1:34-35) • The dead are raised—Lazarus first, then Jesus Himself (John 11:43-44; Matthew 28:5-6) • Prison doors open on their own (Acts 12:7-10) Threading It All Together From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture repeats a single melody: God’s power knows no limits. Promises that defy logic, rescues that override nature, victories snatched from certain defeat—each account re-echoes the question first asked outside Abraham’s tent: “Is anything too difficult for the LORD?” The answer, everywhere and always, is no. |
