Jeremiah 51:15-16 ” He made the earth by His power; He founded the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from His storehouses.”

If you have the chance today to read Psalm 104 you’ll see the same type of attempt to put into words the height, breadth, and magnitude of God’s power.  The writer of Psalm 104 uses the imagery of God wrapping Himself in light as with a garment and stretching out the heavens like a tent…also making the clouds His chariot and riding on the wings of the wind.  Both Scriptures try to put into words what can’t be explained by words…for we don’t have the means to illustrate exactly who God is and His infinite power, wisdom, and might.  So all we can do is praise Him!  Or as Psalm 104 says, “I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to My God as long as I live.”

Job 37: 5-6 ” God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow,’Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ “

God is far beyond any boundaries of our minds, knowledge or expectations.  As Job 5:9 tells us, “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.”  We’d have to then agree with Genesis 18:14 when it asks, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”    The simple answer is, No…there’s nothing that’s impossible for God.  For there’s not one thing He can’t do, change, fix, or accomplish according to His Will.

Psalm 131:1-3 ” My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, both now and forever more.”

Have troubles gone beyond the bounds of your human strength…put your hope in the Lord.  Have all your expectations, desires, and dreams crumbled before your eyes…put your hope in the Lord.  Are you in the middle of an impossible situation with no seemingly way out…put your hope in the Lord.  For God can perform wonders that cannot be fathomed and miracles that cannot be counted. (Job 5:9)  He is the God of the unattainable, the unsolvable, and the hopeless…for He is the God of the impossible, and nothing is too hard for Him. (Genesis 18:14)
