These words are found in the heart of a most strange story. Abraham is sitting under the terebinth trees of Mamre, when three strangers walks by. Compelling the men to accept his hospitality turns into a conversation with the Lord himself. In the conversation is reassurance and a promise from the Him that the holes of pain will be filled with laughter.
These are the words we need today when holes appear in our hearts as we face life’s challenges. When a loved one passes, when a job is lost, or a relationship is broken we turn to the Lord with our pain. It is at those moments that this story becomes real, that this question meets our needs. Just as He asked Sarah and Abraham all those years ago, He asks again “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” And when our hearts well up with the resounding answer, “No! Nothing is too hard for the Lord!” It is that declaration that reminds us to walk one step at a time with a Lord who hears our pain and promises one day to fill our hearts with laughter for nothing is too hard for the Lord.
