Jeremiah 32:26, 27  Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” (NIV)

—

“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”

No.

God can do anything but fail. 

This truth ought to give you confidence as you learn to depend on Him. 

This truth ought to give you joy when you consider the brevity of time and the endlessness of eternity. 

This truth ought to give you focus in your work. If there’s one thing that will not fail, it’s whatever he asks you to do. His intention will be fulfilled even if everything seems to go wrong. He is in charge here. He alone has the final say. 

Since whatever God wants for us is better than anything we want for ourselves, yielding and stillness are postures of thanksgiving and praise. 

Since nothing is too hard for God and nothing He asks you to do is impossible for Him to achieve through you, why not pray like the old hymn:

Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter,
I am the clay.
Mold me and make me
after thy will,
while I am waiting,
yielded and still.
(Have Thine own way, Lord!; Author: Adelaide A. Pollard (1906);
Tune: ADELAIDE (Stebbins))

Our Father in Heaven invites us to join him in his work of redemption, reconciliation, and renewal. 

Our Father in heaven transforms us as he renews the earth. His double purpose should become our singular ambition.

—

I will invite our Father in heaven to mold me and make me after His will. Amen.

—

Our Father in Heaven, the old hymn stands the test of time: 
Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter,
I am the clay.
Mold me and make me
after thy will,
while I am waiting,
yielded and still.
Amen.

A Note: I use the dictation app Wispr Flow to write these devotionals. This is a wonderful tool. However, it has not yet learned to use a capital G or a lowercase g when referring to God. Sometimes it gets it right. Sometimes it does not. I tell you this only because I don’t want you to think I’m psychotic. I’m confident the app will learn after repeated use. Until then, smile and know that I am not that great of a grammar and syntax failure.
