Devotions with Pastor Dick Guilfoil

Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?
Jeremiah 32:27

There are times when you are cornered by the circumstances, and no matter which way you turn, it seems that there is no hope, no way out.
When you face a situation such as this,

• You have just presented God with a splendid opportunity to show what He can do when you have exhausted your own resources.

It has been said, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity"
Wait just a minute.

• It may well be that God has engineered the circumstances confronting you right now to show you that you need Him.
• It may well be that you have evaluated God by “the circumstances” rather than evaluating “the circumstances” by God.

If you can stop the trend of negative desperation for a moment, and take a good look at God and His power, the circumstances will look vastly different.

In Jeremiah 32:27, God asks a question of man, "Is there anything too hard for Me?"

The obvious answer is, "No!"

Now, think of the desperate circumstances surrounding your life, your family, and the millions of lives around the world.

May I ask that same question, "Is there anything too hard for the Lord?" Is there?

Do not measure God by the height of your circumstances; rather measure your circumstances by the height and width of His power.
