The title of my message tonight
is, Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord? That's why it's well with our
souls. I was sitting there thinking what a comfort my title is. I'm glad it's not up to me to
make this message effectual to the glory of Christ or a blessing
to your hearts, because I'm not able. But it's not too hard for
the Lord. I certainly pray that he'll do
that. If you will, open your Bibles with me to Genesis chapter
18. As you're turning, let me tell you how thankful I am to
be here, how many of the folks in Ashland, Hurricane Road send
their greetings to you. You're constantly in our prayers
and in our heart. I took my title from verse 14
of Genesis chapter 18. Is anything too hard for the
Lord? At the time appointed, I will
return unto thee according to the time of life, and Sarah shall
have a son. Now the word, the phrase too
hard here means wonderful and marvelous, and that's normally
how the word is translated when it's used in Scripture, wonderful,
marvelous. I know that nothing is too difficult
for our God to do. How can it be? He has all power.
He has the power to do whatever it is that He wills to do. But
more than that, everything our God does is wonderful. It's awe-inspiring. I wanna read
you a few other verses where this phrase too hard is translated
wonders, marvelous. Job 9 verse 10, Job speaking
of the Lord, which doeth great things past finding out, yea,
and wonders, same word, wonders without number. Psalm 40 verse
five, Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful, same word, thy
wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which
are to us worth. They cannot be reckoned up in
order unto thee. If I would declare and speak of them, there more
than can be numbered. There are many of them, and there
are wonderful things. Psalm 118, verse 22. The stone
which the builders refuse has become the headstone of the corner.
This is the Lord's doing. And it's marvelous, same word,
marvelous in our eyes. And nothing's too hard for our
God to do. You know, there are many things
that our Lord has the power to do. He certainly has the power
to heal us of whatever sickness or disease we may have. He has
the power to stop us from getting sick in the first place, doesn't
he? He has the power to bless us spiritually and physically. He has the power to bless us.
But you know, I can't say for certain that the Lord will do
those things. He has the power to do them,
I know that. But will He do them? I don't know. I don't know, because
He has a promise to do them. You know, we pray when we're
sick. I tell you, the first thing we do is we pray that the Lord
will heal us, don't we? We pray to Him and ask Him to,
because He has the power to do it. But will He? You know, Horrible
pandemic may someday hit the earth and we think, well, the
Lord has the power to stop me from getting sick from that.
And if I do, I know for sure the Lord's going to heal me of
this. Well, you know that's false faith. And I tell you why it's
false faith, because the Lord has not promised he would do
that in every situation. This is what the Lord will do,
what he promised he'd do. Whatever it is that the Lord
is pleased to do, that's what He's gonna do. And it's marvelous
in our eyes. I don't pretend to know hardly
anything about what the Lord is pleased to do, but I thought
of five things I know that the Lord is pleased to do. And these
five things are marvelous in our eyes. They're too hard for
us to do, but not too hard for Him, and they're marvelous that
He would do them. And I wanna point these things out in such
a way that it'll make us happy to bow down and worship him. Number one is this. Can God Almighty
really appear in human flesh? I mean, is it really possible
for God to appear as a man on earth? Now look at verse one
of chapter 18. And Lord appeared unto him in
the plains of Mamre, and he sat in the tent door in the heat
of the day, And he lift up his eyes and looked, and lo, three
men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran
to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the
ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy
sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. Now here
these three men came. Two of them are angels. We know
that from when they go to Sodom. Two of them, these men, are angels.
The third one is a pre-incarnate appearance of our Lord Jesus
Christ. This is the Lord Jesus appearing
on earth in the flesh before he was ever born in Bethlehem.
And I know this is the Lord Jesus, because look what he says in
verse 10. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according
to the time of life. And lo, Sarah thy wife shall
have a son. Now, only God can say that. Only
God can say, I'm going to come. And your wife Sarah, this 90-year-old
woman, is going to have a child, have a son. Now, I know it seems
impossible, doesn't it? It seems impossible, first of
all, that God could appear in the flesh. But it really seems
impossible that the Lord Jesus could appear in the flesh before
he was ever born in Bethlehem. Well, of course he can. Of course,
nothing's too hard for God. And I tell you what is even better. It's wonderful that he did. It's
wonderful that he did because Christ appearing in our flesh,
in our nature, gives us a hope of salvation. Isn't that wonderful
that he appeared in our flesh? I know this is difficult for
folks to believe. After the Savior was born, the
Pharisees could not believe this is God in human flesh. I mean,
the reason they were gonna stone him, he says, I and my father
are one. They said, you're making yourself to be God. They couldn't
believe it. And you know why they couldn't
believe it? Mark, they didn't understand nothing's too hard
for God. That's why they couldn't understand it. Look at Luke chapter
one. I'll show you a difference here
between an unbeliever and a believer. Luke chapter one. Almighty God
was actually born in the flesh. Luke one verse 30. And the angel said unto her,
fear not Mary, for thou has found favor with God. And behold, thou
shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and
shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and he shall
be called the Son of the Highest. He's gonna be called the Son
of the Highest, because that's who he is. And the Lord God shall
give unto him the throne of his father David, and he shall reign
over the house of Jacob forever. And of his kingdom there shall
be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, how can this be? seeing I know it on a man. She's
the same way, it was hard for her to understand. How can it
be I'm gonna have a child, I'm a virgin? Verse 35, and the angel
answered and said unto her, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee, therefore
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God. And she, all it took, she believed
that. The Pharisees never did, Mary
did. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceived a son
in her old age. And this is the sixth month with
her who was called barren. For with God, nothing shall be
impossible. Now it wasn't too hard for God
for him to cause his son to be born into flesh. And I tell you,
it's wonderful. It's wonderful that the eternal
God would be born as a baby boy to a Jewish virgin. And I'll
tell you what makes it so wonderful, that God appeared in human flesh
to save the worst kind of sinners. He didn't come to save good people. He came to save the chief of
sinners. Now I'm telling you, I know we
hear this every Sunday and every Tuesday, how God saves sinners. Christ came to save sinners.
And He has saved His people from their sin. But let that never,
become trite to us. This is something so wonderful,
the salvation of a sinner, that only God could do it. It's so
wonderful only somebody with the character of God, who's both
merciful and just, who's both gracious and at the same time
true to his holiness and true to his justice, only God with
that character could and would save sinners like we are. That's
marvelous. Christ appeared in the flesh
to save sinners like you and me. That gives us a hope of salvation. Now that's wonderful. Have you
ever been in a situation where you felt hopeless? Well, here
we have hope, don't we? Christ came to save sinners.
All right, number two. Can a sinner ever be white as
snow? I mean, without a trace of sin.
Well, we say that's impossible. And you're right, for a man,
that's impossible. For you and me, that's impossible. We're
defiled by sin. Through and through. Like a cloth
that has been soaked in dye. Once that cloth has been soaked
in dye, you can't get color out. It's soaked through and through.
And that's us. We are sin. That's what we are. Look at Isaiah chapter one. Now,
can we wash away that sin? Can we make ourselves white as
snow? No. No, it's impossible for us. But
thankfully, the gospel tells us nothing's too hard for God.
Isaiah chapter one, verse four. Ah, a sinful nation, a people
laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are
corruptors. They've forsaken the Lord. They
provoke the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they're gone away
backward. Why should you be stricken anymore?
You'll revolt more and more. The whole head is sick. The whole
heart is faint. From the sole of the foot, even
unto the head, there's no soundness in it. There's nothing but wounds
and bruises and putrefying sores. They've not been closed, neither
bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Sounds pretty hopeless
to me, doesn't it, Eve? Not a spot on us you can put
your finger that's healthy. Not a spot on us you can put
that's not being corrupted by sin. Look down at verse 16. That being true, this is an amazing
statement the Lord makes. Wash you and make you clean. Put away the evil of your doings
from before mine eyes. Cease to do evil. Learn to do
well. Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,
judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Well, now how can
I learn to do that? My mind's dead in sin. All I
can do is sin. I'm defiled by sin. I have a
sin nature that can't do good. It can't learn to do good. Read
on, verse 18. Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be white as snow. And though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool. Now how can my sins that are
red like crimson become white as snow? How's that possible?
I can't wash myself. I can't make myself holy. I can't
make myself white as snow. I don't care how hard I try.
I don't care how sincere I am. That's impossible for me. Oh, but nothing is too hard for
God. If God washes me, he washes me
in the blood of his son, I'll be white as snow, perfectly holy. Look at Isaiah, or I'm sorry,
Psalm 51. This is David's great prayer after his sin with Bathsheba
was uncovered. And look what he says, Psalm
51, verse seven. Purge me with hyssop. Now, what
was hyssop used for? It was used to dip in the blood
and apply the blood to the doorpost. That's what hyssop is always
used for, sprinkling of the blood. Purge me with hyssop, with the
blood of Christ, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall
be whiter than snow. Oh, if God washes me, he applies
the blood of Christ to my heart, brother, I'm clean. Now, isn't
that wonderful? It's wonderful that God would
do that. I mean, it's just wonderful that
God would do that for people who've sinned against him, who
by nature hate him. But oh, it's wonderful that he'd
do that for the likes of you and me. Isn't that wonderful? All right, number three. Can
a sinner ever truly be saved and made perfect? Well, we know
we can't make ourselves perfect. We can't try to keep the law
and make ourselves perfect. Brother, that boat's already
sailed. That boat's long gone. We've made ourselves guilty.
That's what we've done. We can't make ourselves innocent
again. We've made ourselves sinners. We've done a mighty good job
of that, but we can't make ourselves perfect. It's impossible. It's
too late. Look at Matthew chapter 19. Thankfully,
Nothing is too hard for God. In Matthew chapter 19, this is
the account of the rich young ruler who outwardly seemed to
have a perfect righteousness. And he came and talked with our
Savior. And the Savior says in verse
21, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast. Now,
if he kept all these things from his youth up, it always makes
me wonder, why was he asking, what else do I need? Because
his conscience told him different. His conscience told him, I lack
something. I lack something. That's why
he came and asked the Lord. And the Lord said, well, you'd
be perfect. Go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come follow me.
And when young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful,
for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven. And again, I say unto you, it's easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man
to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Now, the disciples must
have knew something about this young man, his outward righteousness,
his outward morality. And when his disciples heard
it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, who then can be saved? If this man can't be saved, who
can be saved? But Jesus beheld them and said
unto them, with men, This is impossible. But with God, all
things are possible. Now you think about this rich
young ruler. He's the very best mankind has to offer. This is the best that man can
make himself under the law. I don't think this man was lying
when he said, I've done all these things. I bet you he had. This
is the best that a man can make himself under the law. And all
it took for the Lord to show us and him too that he is not
righteous is asking one simple question. And he went away. Salvation is not being as good
as this rich young ruler. Righteousness is not being as
good as we can do. Salvation is being as good as
God. as perfect, as holy, as righteous
as God. Well, now preacher, that's absurd.
No sinner could ever make themselves as good as God. It's absurd,
it's absurd. Well, you're right, no man can.
But thankfully, it's not too hard for God. Nothing's too hard
for God. He makes his people perfect in
Christ Jesus. You who believe are as perfect
as God himself. Now that's quite a statement.
You could make that statement from the word God, couldn't you?
As perfect as God. Now if you look back in our text,
Genesis 18, we have a picture of this. That a sinner is made
perfect through faith in Christ. Not our deeds of the law, but
by faith in Christ. Verse nine of Genesis chapter
18. And they said unto him, where
is Sarah thy wife? And he said, behold, in the tent.
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to
the time of life. And lo, Sarah thy wife shall
have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind
him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old
and well stricken in age, and ceased to be with Sarah after
the manner of women. Therefore, Sarah laughed within herself,
saying, after I'm waxed old, Shall I have pleasure, my Lord,
being old also? And the Lord said unto Abraham,
wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I have a surety, bear a
child which am old? Is anything too hard for the
Lord? At the time appointed, I will return unto thee according
to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Well, now Sarah's
scared, and you can't blame her. Sarah denied, saying, Oh, laugh
not, for she was afraid. And he said, nay, but thou didst
laugh. You did laugh. Now the word translated laugh
here is the same word translated laugh in Genesis 17, when it
said when the Lord came to Abraham and told him, Abraham, you'll
have a son, and Abraham laughed. And I always wondered, well,
why was it okay for Abraham to laugh and not for Sarah to laugh?
Well the word has multiple meanings, the word translated laugh. Sometimes
it means to laugh with joy. And sometimes it means to mock. Now the only way you and I would
know that the word here means to mock, that Sarah really didn't
believe the Lord, that she really couldn't believe that she was
gonna have a son, is the Lord gently rebuked her for it. That's
how we know. But now listen. We know the end
of the story. We know Sarah had Isaac, but
if you didn't know that, now, who can blame Sarah for thinking
she's not gonna have a child? She's already gone through menopause.
Biologically speaking, it's impossible for Sarah to have a child. I
mean, 90 years old, that's mighty old to start raising a family.
Jan and I recently had our great-nephew with us for a week. He's four
years old. Last time we had a four-year-old
under our control, 25 years ago. And a lot changed in 25 years.
It was hard for us to keep up with that kid. Oh, my goodness.
Can you imagine if you're 90? Doctors do not give 90-year-old
women pregnancy tests. because it's impossible. It's
just not possible. I had a medical procedure recently. I was talking with the nurse
taking care of me, and she made this statement. She said, when
you consider what it takes for a baby to be formed in the womb,
and for that baby to be there nine months and be born alive,
she said, it's a miracle any of us are here. And my response
to that was, well, only God can give life. And she said, Amy,
you're right. She said, it's the only way.
If God doesn't do it, it can't happen. She said, if you just,
she said, when I studied that nursing school, I couldn't believe
any child was ever born. Well, thankfully, nothing's too
hard for God. God caused Sarah to give birth
to Isaac. Now look over again, over at
chapter 21. When she had that baby, she laughed again. Genesis
21, verse five. And Abraham was 100 years old
when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath
made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
And nobody needs to tell me this laugh is a laugh of joy. Now
she didn't believe, but she ended up laughing with joy because
nothing's too hard for God. You don't turn to this, I'll
just read this quickly to you. Not only did God cause Sarah
to give birth to Isaac, God did something even harder than that,
even more wonderful than that. He made Sarah perfect through
faith in Christ. Listen to what the writer of
the Hebrews has to say about Sarah, Hebrews 11, 11. Through
faith also, Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and
was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she
judged him faithful who promised. Really? Does that sound like
what we just read in Genesis chapter eight? It don't sound
to me like she judged him faithful that promised, does she? Did the writer of the Hebrews
get something wrong here? No, he didn't. See, here's the difference. In the Old Testament, Sarah is
seen as she is under the law, as she is in herself. In the
New Testament, Sarah is seen as she is in Christ. Under the
law, she's guilty. In Christ, she's perfect, washed
in the blood of Christ through faith in Christ. Now, isn't it
wonderful? that the Lord takes all of his
people, all of us who are defiled by sin, who have practically
zero faith, who would laugh just like Sarah did, and wash us white
as snow, make us perfect, not through our works, through faith
in Christ, that he would be our perfection. That's a marvelous
thing, marvelous. All right, here's the fourth
thing. Can an unrighteous sinner ever be righteous? Well, not
by our works of the law, we can't. If you want to be righteous,
don't start trying to keep the law. Listen to what Paul said
in Romans 3 verse 20 about the law. Therefore, by the deeds
of the law, there shall no flesh, no flesh, yours or mine, no flesh,
be justified in his sight. For by the law is the knowledge
of sin. See, by the law, we can't keep
the law and make ourselves righteous. All the law can do is give us
a knowledge of sin. All the law can do is be a mirror
and hold up to us and show us how unrighteous we are and show
us how far we are from keeping the law. We can never make ourselves
righteous by keeping the law. It's impossible. Now, contrary to popular opinion,
and this is popular opinion, because this is what false prophets
say, somehow they give people the impression God just grades
on a curve, and that's not so. Brethren, we're in trouble, unless
we have a righteousness that God will accept. And the only
righteousness God will accept is perfection. So that means
you and me are in trouble, because we can't produce one. Look at
2 Corinthians 5, 21. Probably everybody here can quote
this, but look at it again anyway. Thankfully, now we can't do this,
but thankfully, nothing's too hard for God. For He, God the Father, hath
made Him, God the Son, sin for us, who knew no sin, that we
might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Now the scoffer
will laugh mockingly, not laugh in joy, laugh mockingly and say,
huh, now that verse doesn't mean what it says. The Lord Jesus
Christ is holy. So the scoffer says it's impossible
for him to be made sin. Something holy can't be made
sin, they say. And the sinner is unrighteous.
So it's impossible for the sinner to be righteous. Well, Sarah
thought it was impossible for a 90-year-old woman to have a
child, too. The Pharisees thought it was impossible for God to
appear in human flesh. Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of
God, they said it's impossible. Before you go saying something's
impossible, just be careful. There are a few things I can
think of, very few, that are impossible. It's impossible for
God to lie. It's impossible for God to sin.
It's impossible for God to do wrong. It's impossible for God
to do something unrighteous. It's impossible for God to violate
his word. But very few things outside of
those things is impossible. I know it sounds impossible to
us that the Holy Son of God would be made sin and yet still be
the sinless sacrifice. I know it sounds impossible for
a sinner in this flesh to ever be righteous. I know it sounds
impossible. But you know why it's possible? Because with God,
all things are possible. Nothing is too hard for God,
and God's the one that did it. For he hath made him sin for
us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of
God in the end. If the father made the son sin, it happened. If the son was made sin for you
and he took your sin away, he, God, has made you the righteousness
of God in the end. That's why it's possible. I don't
have to understand it. I just know this, nothing's too
hard for God to do, so he did it. He did what he said he'd
do. And oh, that's wonderful. I wish
people would quit fussing and fighting and arguing about this
and let's just see how wonderful this is and bow at the feet of
God and thanking for it. How wonderful it is. And I'll
tell you how serious, how fully this transaction happened. The
writer to the Hebrews said in Hebrews 8, 12, for I will be
merciful to their unrighteousness. and their sins and their iniquities
lie remember no more. Now, how is it that the father
who knows everything cannot remember our sins? Because nothing's too
hard for God. Those sins have been put away
by the blood of Christ. So there's no sin to remember. They're gone. When the father
looks at his elect, all he sees is righteous people because that's
what he made them by his power and by his grace. That's a wonderful
thing. That's a marvelous thing that
God would make somebody like you and me righteous. All right, here's the last thing.
Can God really give the dead life? Physically and spiritually,
can God really give the dead life? Well, Sarah's womb was
dead, wasn't it? He gave life to Isaac. God gave
life from the dead. All right, preacher, you got
another example besides that one? Well, there are many, but
let's look at one. Mark chapter five. Mark chapter five. Verse 35. While he yet spake, there came
from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, thy
daughter is dead. Why troublest thou the master
any further? It's impossible to do anything else. Why troublest
thou the master any further? Nothing anybody can do. As soon
as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the
ruler of the synagogue, be not afraid, only believe. And he suffered no man to follow
him, save Peter and James and John, the brother of James. And
he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth
the tomb halt. And then that wept, and wailed
greatly. And when he was come in, he saith unto them, why make
ye this ado and weep? The damsel's not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
I know what that word, laugh, means. They laughed him to scorn.
But when he put them all out, he taketh the father and the
mother of the damsel, and then that were with him, and entered
the inn where the damsel was lying. And he took the damsel
by the hand and said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is being
interpreted, damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway
the damsel arose and walked, for she was of the age of 12
years. And they were astonished with great astonishment. You
say, that's impossible. Well, me and it is, isn't it?
Sometime you're down to a funeral home, only do this if nobody's
watching, if you're the only one in the room. If you say this to somebody who's
watching, they're going to haul you off. But say to that person in
the dead there in the casket, I say it to your eyes, what's
going to happen? Not one blessed thing. Like I said, if somebody's
watching, they're going to take you to the funny farm. But nothing's
too hard for God. When the Lord told her to rise
up and walk, she did. Because of who it was that commanded
her. Because of His power. That is
power that the human mind can never comprehend. This girl was
dead. And when He told her to rise,
she was living. He gave life to the dead. But
I'll tell you something greater than that. God the Holy Spirit
uses the same power to give physical life or spiritual life to dead
sinners. One last scripture, 2 Peter 1.
He uses the very same power, the power of creation, the power
that he used to make this girl live again. He uses that same
power to give spiritual life to dead sinners. 2 Peter 1, verse
3. According as his divine power,
See, this is why it's not too hard for God to do this. He has
divine power, hath given unto us all things that pertain unto
life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called
us to glory and virtue, whereby are given unto us exceeding great
and precious promises, that by these ye might be partakers of
the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that's in the
world through lust. Now, can a dead sinner ever live?
Really? Well, not by our power, but nothing's
too hard for God. He gives his people life by his
divine power and makes them partakers of the divine nature, makes them
partakers of life in Christ, partakers of his righteousness,
of his holiness, of his life. And that's unimaginable power.
to give spiritual life to a dead sinner. I can't comprehend it,
but it sure is marvelous to me. I sure do like to hear it again
and again and again, don't you? Now, is anything too hard for
God? Not if God said he'll do it, it's not. Is anything too
wonderful for God to do for his people? Is anything too wonderful?
His very name is wonderful. Now, nothing's too wonderful
for Him. He's already done so many wonderful things for His
people. And that makes Him, He is wonderful to us. So I hope
hearing that, nothing's too hard for God. Hope that that caused
you to trust the Savior even more. And hope you find comfort
for your heart in trusting Him. Now, let me give you one more
thing. If right this very moment, you
don't need comfort desperately, you're going to forlorn. And
let me give you this. You know, the Lord brings us
into a time of trouble and trial. And we think there's no way out. There's no way this thing can
ever get any better. Well, it is comforting to remember
this. The Lord, if he's pleased, he
can remove the trial instantly. He can instantly remove the heartache.
He can instantly remove the pain. And like I said, open the service.
Now, will he do it? I don't know. I don't know if
he will or not, because he hadn't promised that he would do that
in every situation. But I do know this. He has the
power to do it. But now, listen to me. You take
this with you. Store it somewhere for when you
need it. You know what the Lord did promise to do? He promised
this. My grace is sufficient for thee. He didn't just say that to Apostle
Paul. He says that to all of his people. My grace is sufficient
for thee. So while we pray that the Lord
end the trial, because he's got the power to do it, here's something
else we should always pray. Lord, would you give me grace
that is sufficient for this very moment? Will he remove the trial? I don't know. Will he give you
grace sufficient? Yes, he will. Because Dave, that's
what he promised he'd do. That he's going to do it. Now,
what's more marvelous? Let me ask you this. What's more
marvelous? That the Lord would comfort your heart by taking
the trial away and taking the pain away? That's marvelous,
isn't it? But is it more marvelous that the Lord doesn't change
the heat of the trial one bit. Nothing changes. But He comforts
your heart with His grace anyway, so that you're comforted while
the trial still rages. What's more marvelous? God will do that for His people.
That's what He promised He'd do. And you think it's impossible
for my heart to be comforted. It's impossible. Nothing's too
hard for God. Now you hang on to that. All
right. Lord bless you.
