Jeremiah 32:17
‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Application:
Jeremiah prayed, expressing his faith and confidence in God and his perplexity at how God was working out his plan. Jeremiah had a very high view of God’s greatness (32:16–19). He affirmed the Lord’s mighty works in bringing Israel from bondage in Egypt into their own land, where, tragically, they failed to obey him (32:20-23). Jeremiah knew God’s sovereignty and his people’s history.*
He knew that God had handed over Jerusalem to the Chaldeans (the Babylonians) because of Judah’s sins (32:24). But Jeremiah still expressed bewilderment at what God was doing. Why tell him to buy a piece of land in a country that was about to be overrun and its inhabitants deported? (32:25).*
The Lord calls the things that are not as if they were (Romans 4:17). God was looking ahead to a time when Judah would return to the land God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God sees the ending from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). How awesome is our God!

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
