Is the Lord’s hand waxed short?
Numbers 11:23 And
the LORD said unto Moses,
Is the LORD'S
hand waxed short? thou shalt see
now whether my word shall come to pass
unto thee or not.
No— what He hath done, He can do; and all He hath
promised, or His people need, He will do.
He has all power. He knows no difficulty.
Why then are we cast down?
Because we do not believe His word, depend simply on His veracity, and expect all we need from His hand.
He was displeased with Moses when he questioned His
power, and He is displeased with us
when we doubt His love, distrust His
providence or ask, “How can this
be?”
Whatever may be your difficulty, trial, or want, plead with the Lord and confidently expect
deliverance; and if any temptation
is presented to weaken your faith, rouse
your fears, or disturb your
tranquillity, meet it with this
question, “Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? “
Beloved, look not to the hand of man, but look simply to the hand of God; man may disappoint you, God will not.
He is faithful that promised.
He is a God at hand.
He will be near you throughout this day; His hand is able and ready to help you; therefore trust and be not afraid.
In heaven, and earth, and air and
sea,
He executes His firm decrees;
And by His saints it stands
confess’d
That what He does is ever best;
Then own His powerful arm rely,
And He will bring salvation nigh.
