Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah; I am the Lord,the God of all mankind.is anything to hard for Me' ( Jeremiah 32 v27).I'm sure when you read those words you think of so many things,that God would perform a miracle in your life ,or in someone you know, or of some situation,yes there is nothing to hard for the Lord to do.It is always important to see the context to what is said,to see the context of this scripture we need look at the whole chapter.The Babylonian army was besieging Jerusalem,and the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, telling him that Jerusalem would be given into the hands of the invading army.Yet the Lord tells Jeremiah to buy a portion of Land,this he did and it was puzzling what was the purpose of it? In Jeremiah 25v11-12 ,God told Jeremiah that Israel would go into captivity for seventy years .The buying the piece of land was a covenant sign that Israel would return them to there land.The nation had forsaken God and went after other gods (2 v11-13),they had done nothing but evil in God's sight (32 v30)God suffered long with them (35 v15) but all to no avail,so now they must be punished. Like Israel of old if we persist in sin then we will be judged, but there is always a way back to God if we repent,He can restore to us the years that the locust have eaten (Joel 2 v 25)
' I've wandered far away from God;
Now I'm coming home;
The paths of sin too long I've trod:
