August 16 "Nothing Too Hard for God" Jeremiah 32, 33, 34

Beside myself reading this passage.  Jeremiah buys a piece of property from jail!  This piece of ground signifies hope.  There is a new day coming!  Houses.  Fields.  Vineyards.  Gardens.  They are coming back!  And Matthew Henry wisely writes:  "It is good to manage even our worldly affairs in faith; to do common business with reference to the Providence and Promise of God."

Jeremiah sighs in praise to the God he worships and adores:  "Ah LORD, Thous has 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.  And there it is right there.  A man in prison, unjustly.  And I complained or maybe threw a fit tonight cause Public Storage changed the lock on my storage unit without telling me and I was trapped with no belongings to take to another city---an empty Uhaul.  Great in counsel; mighty in work; Thine Eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men.  Jer 32:19.  What more do I really need to lay life on His lap?

And God's beautiful response to this beautiful Jeremiah! "Call unto Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you know not!"  Even in jail!  Jer 3:3.

COME BOLDLY,  Timeless Prayers:
Ah Lord!  Your Eyes, Your Ears, Your Hands are all over our world.  Nothing is too hard for You.  So, we lay before Your Eyes and Ears this day the things that obsess us.  Help us let go long.
