Praise:
Shabbat's Torah portion has this question from God to Abraham:
Is anything too hard for YHWH?
(Gen. 18:14a)Abba Father, we know the answer is that nothing is too difficult for You (Jer. 32:17, 27).
We praise You for proving this by Your miraculous restoration of Israel to its land when it was at the weakest moment in its history – right after the Nazi Holocaust (Psa. 102:1-15; Jer. 30:4-10).
King Redeemer, only after we are saved do we realize how evil and distorted our hearts are, yet You still redeemed us, so we rejoice as this is also proof that nothing is too hard for You (Mark 10:26-27).
Lord, in the Torah portion as Abraham says to Isaac,
God will provide himself [or, Himself] a lamb for the burnt offering,
(Gen. 22:8a) we are in awe as one of Your greatest miracles is the incarnation when You, God the Son, became the Son of Man (Isa. 9:6; Matt. 1:20-23; Luke 1:30-35).Creator God, thank You for the incredible lightning and thunder storm over parts of Israel just as the elections were drawing to a close, reminding us that You still rule over all (Psa. 103:19; Joel 3:16).
