Webster's Dictionary describes a rhetorical question as one that suggests the answer, implying the obvious. Whether someone asks on a frostbitten day, "is it cold enough for you?" or as you're stuffed to the rafters after eating Sunday dinner, "did you get enough to eat?", the question: 'Is any thing too hard for the Lord?' renders a quick and resounding answer. No!

Nothing is too hard for God. This was the lesson learned by Sarah as she laughed at the prospect of having a son.

The thought of her becoming pregnant appeared to be logically untenable and biologically impossible.

But the Good News is that with God all things are possible". Matthews 19.26, Although Jesus was speaking about the prospect of salvation, the message is the same: There is no challenge too hard for God. No matter what the problem, our God can always solve them. Pray to God. He is able to do all things and to do all things well.
