1 Corinthians 1:27-31 (NLT)
Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. [28] God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. [29] As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God. [30] God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. [31] Therefore, as the Scriptures say, "If you want to boast, boast only about the
Lord."
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
No!! Nothing is too hard or impossible for our God!!
Q: Ever been given a promise that seems almost impossible to believe or at least is going to be hard for you to fulfill or accomplish?
Abraham get this promise from God that his offspring will number the stars in the sky & that he & his wife Sarah will conceive the child who will kick start this blessing!!
Problem: I'm 108 Lord & Sarah is 90!!
Abraham must have thought: That's either God having a sense of humour or me having
Alzheimer’s & I’ve forgotten I’m 108
But God says to Abraham & Sarah: Is Anything too hard for the Lord?
It's not what happens to us in life but how we respond to what happens in life.
Ultimately the battle is the Lords!!
Is anything too hard for the lord?
Genesis 18 Abraham & Sarah were in a battle!! A battle to have children!!!
God appears with promise!!
(As i'm speaking right now Gods promises are appearing in your life to strengthen your faith because faith comes by hearing.....)
But in the natural it seemed impossible & whenever you focus on the problem you make your problem Big & God small causing you to either delay the promise or even miss the promise of
God.
Sarah overhears their conversation of her going to have a child & being 90 years old, which to her was a big problem, she laughs within herself.

Focuses on the seeming impossibility, making it Big & not on Gods promise & possibility making God small.)
Much like the 10 Spies who were sent to see their promised land!!
Focusing on man & his ability will make man seem gigantic & God seem minute!!
We have to make God BIG in every area of our lives!!
In good times & bad times!! Or else things will seem hard to you for God to solve.
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Often get asked How long must I still wait? How long is my season?
Things are hard Pastor & I need God to come through for me now!!
Q:But Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Sarah's laugh displays her immaturity in trusting God!!
She had to be taught to trust!!
We know that because her PlanB-Hagar, produced Ishmael causing much marital turmoil & upheaval: Bible tells us that from from promise to promotion took 25 years!!
Does God's appointed time take 25 years for everything?
Mary's process was 3 months, Sarah's 25years.
Delay is never denial but wrong believing will produce wrong living & right believing will produce right living.
Israelites should've taken 2weeks to cross from Egypt to Israel but took 40 years causing delay to their promise.
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
No, but often we can make it hard for ourselves!!
God wants you to have victory , He wants you to live out your life plan!!
But through all of this God wants you simply to let Him have the glory!!
