There Is No Problem God Cannot Solve

We read in Hebrews 11:19, “Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure."Abraham had a problem. He had been asked by God to offer his son as a sacrifice. Abraham fully intended to carry out God’s command, but as the writer of Hebrews states, Abraham believed God was able to raise his son from dead.

Abraham knew that that God was able and there was no problem too hard for God to solve. Hallelujah, there is no problem in my life or yours that God is not able to solve. Our problems can seem big, so much so they seem insurmountable. However, they are never too big for God to solve.

Another great example is the children of Israel. It has been estimated that there were anywhere from three to three and half million Jews that left Egypt on the Passover night. The Bible says they crossed the Red Sea in one night. If they had crossed two abreast, it would have formed a line 800-mile long and would have taken 35 days and nights to cross. To get that many across in one night, they would have had to march 5,000 abreast, which would have required God to open a path in the Red Sea 3 miles wide.

God’s ability was not only displayed in their deliverance from Egypt, but also in how God sustained them in the wilderness. Someone has calculated that it would have required 1,500 tons of food per day to keep them from starving. It would have taken two freight trains, each 1 mile long to haul in the daily food supply. At today's prices, it would cost around $4 million a day to feed them. During their time in the wilderness God fed them with manna and quail. If you figured one quail to each family of five, it would have required around 750,000 quail that came up to camp each morning and it would have required 2 million gallons of manna to fall on the ground each morning. Also, it would have required 11 million gallons of water for the bare necessities, (drinking and washing) every day. This would have taken a freight train of tank cars 1,800 miles long to haul in that amount each day. All this, God did for 40 years.

When you look at these accounts of what God did, you have to say that there is no problem too hard for God to solve.
