From Impossible to Possible
In Genesis 18, this question is asked: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” And this answer is given: “No, nothing is too hard for Him.” Genesis, which aims to show us God’s omnipotence, tells us that nothing is too much, too difficult for God – because God is all powerful.
