Known Facts vs All The Facts

Jeremiah 32:6-27

6 Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me: 7 Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, 'Buy my field at Anathoth, because as nearest relative it is your right and duty to buy it.'

8 "Then, just as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and said, 'Buy my field at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. Since it is your right to redeem it and possess it, buy it for yourself.'
"I knew that this was the word of the LORD; 9 so I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels [a] of silver. 10 I signed and sealed the deed, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11 I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy- 12 and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and of all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.

26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 27 "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

Bee's Thoughts:

The known facts are not all the facts. —Herbert Vander Lugt

I like the above statement. It is common for us to use "known facts" to make a conclusion without having "all the facts". In a practical sense only God has ALL the facts and therefore He knows best.

Is there anything too hard for God? (v27)

Of course NO! Yet in our finite mind we tend to look at the "known facts" and forget that God is the God of the impossible. Sometimes we might be asked to do something that sounds silly yet it is in God's plan to fulfill His purpose in our life.

Dear Lord,
Thank You that You have all the facts and nothing is too hard for You. Teach me to always trust You to guide my path. Show me what You want me to do and give me strength to obey.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
