Please read Jeremiah 32.

Meditate on verse 17.
“Ah LORD God!
Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by
Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too difficult for You.
Impossible! Jeremiah was imprisoned; Jerusalem was under the control of the Chaldeans (Babylonians), and Jeremiah’s cousin, Hanamel, asked him to buy some local land conquered by Babylon. Who, in their right mind, would buy land controlled by another nation? But when Jeremiah heard the offer, he knew it “was the word of the LORD” (v. 8). He bought the land and made the transaction public, so everyone knew what crazy Preacher Jeremiah had done.
The rest of the story is Babylon ceased to exist, being conquered by the Medes and Persians (Daniel 5:30-31). Cyrus, king of Persia, allowed the Jews to return to their land of Israel (2 Chronicles 36:22-23). And if you research the price of land in Israel today, Jeremiah was wise to obey God!
What has God told you to do that does not make sense in the eyes of the world and requires total dependence on Him? Trust and obey the LORD; rich blessings await your obedience.
Pray Jeremiah 32:17-19 over yourself and others who are in impossible situations as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“Ah LORD God! Behold You have
made the heavens and the earth
by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too difficult for You!
Show lovingkindness to ________ and me.
Forgive us of our iniquity, so it is not repaid
into the bosom of our children, O great and mighty God!
LORD of hosts, counsel us with Your great counsel;
show us your mighty deeds.
Keep Your eyes on our ways.
Let the fruit of our deeds please You.
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
