The Easy Fix to My Difficult Problem
The other day, I was outside jogging when I got a text from my husband, Matt. “Hey love, I got that problem fixed on your blog. You’re good to go.”
I read the text and laughed out loud. Of course he did! I thought to myself. I have had a technical problem on my blog the last several months that has been driving me crazy. I’ve researched the problem, tried several things, and run out of patience trying to fix it. Matt sat down and fixed it in less than ten minutes. He’s like that. He is my go-to for all things related to computers, programs, and pretty much anything technical. I used to think I was so techy. I’ve realized. I’m not. At. All. Matt can spend just a few minutes and do something that takes me hours to accomplish or figure out.
Jeremiah’s Recognition of God’s Power
I was thinking about that experience when I was reading my Bible in my morning time this week. I have been reading the book of Jeremiah. In chapter 32, Jeremiah pours his heart out to God in prayer.
Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Jeremiah 32:17
As Jeremiah talks to God, he says, “I know that you made the entire world, and nothing is too hard for you.”
God Reminds Jeremiah of His Power
A few verses later, God addresses Jeremiah.
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27
God and Jeremiah both agreed on God’s abilities. He is God, and there is absolutely nothing God can not do. In God’s hands, the most difficult problem becomes easy.
Our Problem in God’s Hands
Just as Matt can take something that is really hard for me and fix it quickly- God can do the same for us. The problems that are so big and unsolvable for us are nothing for Him. He created us, so He obviously cares about what happens to us. I wonder if the reason God doesn’t step in more often to help us with our problems is that He is simply
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I Peter 5:7
God wants us to give our burden to Him and let Him take care of it for us. When we do that, we no longer have to struggle under the burden. We can leave it with Him, and let Him worry about the outcome. When we do, we will have the peace we have been longing for.
What problems are you facing today that are beyond you? Could it be that God is simply waiting for you to ask His for help? Your problem is nothing for Him.
