Ah, Sovereign Lord …
Nothing is too hard for you.
—Jeremiah 32:17
Abraham and Sarah would soon have a hundred candles on their cake. They had no children, so when God told them their descendants would be as numberless as the stars they cracked up.
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? . . . Sarah will have a son” (Gen. 18:14). And she did.
Mary was a teenager when angel Gabriel showed up at her door and told her she was going to have a baby.
How so? I’m a virgin. Unmarried.
This is God’s doing Gabriel said—your baby will be “the Son of God” (Lk. 1:35). And he was.
And by the way Mary, your cousin Elizabeth “is going to have a child in her old age . . .” (Lk. 1:36). And she did.
“[N]othing is impossible with God” (Lk. 1:37).
God’s good at impossible.
