Jeremiah 32

“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" v.27

Read chapter 32
The Lord answers Jeremiah's prayer confirming He is all that he has said and therefore nothing is too hard for Him, even restoring Israel and their land out of captivity.  Jeremiah's own words ought to have taught him that nothing is too hard for God, yet he still seems concerned of the matter.  As all of Judah and Israel are going in to captivity God tells him to buy a field and then that field gets taken by the Chaldeans which doesn't seem to make sense to Jeremiah why he had to do that just to be taken away.  For Jeremiah to buy this people was a sign to show that God would one day return them to their land, that He can be trusted even in the most oppressing of times.  It's hard sometimes to understand why we think God leads us down certain paths or into certain circumstances, especially when we don't see hope or see more failure than good.  But don't lose hope, for nothing is too hard for the Lord God!
How have you like Jeremiah can say with your lips who God is, but then don't trust or think in God's power when difficulty comes or things don't make sense?  When have you done or been somewhere you weren't sure why God had you there that turned out to be a greater piece of God's puzzle of His workings?  What are you believing today that is too hard for God?  Why?
