"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"

One day when I was around 8 years old, I asked God if he could stop letting it rain. It was raining a lot and I wanted to play outside. Being cooped up in the house with 3 brothers and 2 sisters was not fun. I asked Abba to make it stop and the next day it stopped raining. For three days it wouldn’t rain and News channel 13 weatherman Bob Kovachick couldn’t understand why it stopped raining and why the air mass wasn’t moving. I told my mom it wasn’t going to rain because I asked Abba. She knew God was stopping the rain because of me. My mom told me it wasn’t good to do that. Farmers and trees need the water. I reluctantly agreed and said to Abba, He can let it rain now. The next day it rained. The weatherman was relieved and happy. What makes us lose our child like faith? God is still the same. He hasn’t change only we have. We are now more aware of our sins and think God doesn’t love us as much anymore. God’s love for us isn’t based on how good we are. Nothing we could ever do ourselves would ever justify us in His sight. Yeshua willingly took God's righteous indignation against us upon Himself so that we don't have to be separated from Abba anymore. Yeshua became our Pesach lamb when we accepted His death on the cross as payment for our sins. We are now reconciled to God whom we have offended. "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ…God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them…God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:18-19, 21). He loves us and there is no more anger toward us it was satisfied by Yeshua. We are now in right relationship with Abba if we surrender to and obey Him. “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:14-16). Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:19-23). So is anything too hard for the Lord?

Isaiah 12
A Hymn of Praise

And in that day you will say:
“O LORD, I will praise You;
Though You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation.”
Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
And in that day you will say:
“Praise the LORD, call upon His name;
Declare His deeds among the peoples,
Make mention that His name is exalted.
Sing to the LORD,
For He has done excellent things;
This is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!”
