Is Anything Too Hard For The Lord

When my soul fainted within me Jonah 2:7.

It is good to recognise our complete poverty of Spirit and ability to improve our own lives. In the context of the story of Jonah, we can see that the hinge point of the process of his deliverance from his situation was that he finally came to the end of his own strength and ability.

It is like approaching the shore when at sea in a storm. Each of you is like a ship at sea. The storms of life come and you are tossed to and fro. Fear rises in you and even panic and the boat is totally un stable.

You have a choice even when it seems that you don’t. The choice is the same as that which faced Jonah. Will we continue to struggle and endanger the boat or calm down and humble ourselves. At this point Jonah REMEMBERED The Lord. This is purely a point of crisis. This is between you and Him.  It’s not about going to church or meetings, but it can be, it’s about recalling and crying out.

Even in the darkness He is with you. In Him there is no darkness. He will not put out a smouldering wick or bruised reed. He longs to embrace you.

Before you rock the boat any further REMEMBER HIM.

Are you sick of the tormenting thoughts. Are you wondering if you will ever find peace. He waits to hear what YOU have to say. It can be helpful what people advice but YOU need to know for yourself.  He is on your side. He wants to give you hope and joy.

Don’t SUFFER IN SILENCE. Your opinion matters. Job suffered immensely and God declared that He was right compared to the advice that he was given, but that He was wrong compared to who God is and what He can do.

IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD
