I came across this verse in a bible study last week, and I have to tell you - it rocked my world!
I think I'm good about giving everything to God. I think I leave it all up to Him. But this verse made me see that there are areas in my life I must think are too difficult for Him to handle. I don't hold these things back intentionally, as if I don't want His help. I'm pretty sure I just get caught up in the panic and forget that He really is Mighty to Save!
Some big changes have popped up in my life lately, and my natural tendency is to start worrying. But now, God is able to remind me "Wait! My arm is not too short!" And before the worry creeps in, I am learning rest in Him.
This verse tells us that:
- Nothing in our life is too far away for His arms to reach it.
- No one in our life is too far gone for His arms to grab them.
- No situation in our life is so complicated that His arms cannot turn it around.
Granted, this verse says nothing about how long the process might take. His time is not our time. Our struggles, though difficult, have purpose, and He is allowing us to move through them with the promise of His sanctification on the other side.
What we have to remember is that we cannot sell God short! We cannot lose hope! His arm is not too short to save. Take comfort in this! He sees you exactly where you are, and He has not left you. Nothing is not beyond His grasp. Your heavenly Father loves you, and He will reach out His hand to you, and You will know in that moment that you have had a powerful, undeniable, personal encounter with your Heavenly Father.
And in the meantime ... be patient and trust Him. His arm is not too short!
