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 Jerusalem over to the Chaldeans (the Babylonians) because of Judah’s sins (32:24). Yet 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 though they were (Romans 4:17). God was looking ahead to a time when Judah would return to the land God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God sees the end from the beginning. (Isaiah 46:10). How awesome is our God! We must realize that we live with a peephole mentality apart from God’s revelation. In a parade, looking through a peephole, we see only what is in front of us. God sees the whole parade, from beginning to end.
