Jeremiah begins his prayer in 32:17 acknowledging God’s power as displayed in all of creation; the earth and the sky. He says that “nothing is too difficult for you.” In verse 27 of the same chapter God responds to Jeremiah agreeing with his prophet that “nothing is too difficult for me.” But he also seems to be redirecting Jeremiah’s focus from creation to people. I don’t think God is disagreeing with Jeremiah’s praise of his power as displayed in nature. But God notes that his display of power is seen through his rule over all the people. It is a subtle change of focus, but very important as we consider what God values most; people. Not just the believers but all people.
