“Paul, an apostle,
(not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father,
who raised him from the dead;)...” - Galatians 1.1
Every time I read this verse the words in the parenthesis strike me!

“Is anything too hard for the LORD?” - Genesis 18:14
How often we think that we have some serious questions that God needs to answer for us. Our life takes some twists and turns and we often look up and ask “Why?”
This verse in Genesis records the LORD having a question for us:
“Is anything too hard for the LORD?”

“I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease,
whilst I leave it, and come down to you?” - Nehemiah 6.3
These words of Nehemiah sound rather arrogant.
They are not.
Nehemiah had a job to do. There were troublesome, wicked, ungodly people trying to stop him. They were trying to intimidate him. Distract him. Bully him.

“Casting all...” - 1 Peter 8.7
How often we need to be reminded of this great verse in the Bible, basically, “Don’t hang on to our problems, struggles or difficulties!”
“Casting all your care upon him;”
That goes against our nature!
Surely if we “hang on”... “hang in there”... “be tough”... “don’t give up”... Surely that is what will see us through?!
