Numbers 11:23 "The Lord answered Moses, 'Is the Lord's arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you.'"
The Israelites have again complained about their situation in the wilderness. They are upset about their dinner options so God decides he is going to send them another round of quail-enough quail so that it comes out of their nostrils! Moses questions if that is even possible and God responds, "Is the Lord's arm too short?" Gotta love it.
Is God's arm too short? Of course not. So why do we act like it is? My plans, prayers, dreams and hopes too often represent my arm. They ought to level up to the Lord's arm. If he exists and if he is who he says he is, then nothing is too out of reach or too difficult for him. So, I must plan big, dream big, and go big, cuz he's got a big arm. He's got a big gun! Bigger than Peyton Manning's! It's playoff time, sue me.
Dear Jesus, help me rely on and trust your arm, not mine. Amen.
