Jeremiah 32:27, God can do anything! Except this…
“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?”
//Omni-everything is our God! Matthew 19:26 says all things are possible with God. Luke 1:37 promises nothing is impossible with God. In today’s verse, God himself makes the claim. Well, actually God poses a rhetorical question. He doesn’t actually say he can do anything.
Because it turns out one thing is too tough for even God to handle: Chariots of iron in battle.
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron (Judges 1:19).

Put on the whole uniform of the Team, that ye may be able to stand against the blitz of oncoming linebackers. Don the hip pads of truth, the shoulder pads of righteousness, the cleats of preparation. Don’t forget the facemask of faith and the helmet of salvation. Then clutch the pigskin with much Spirit, for that is what the Play Book of your Coach in Heaven demands.The River of Life
Twice before Lee Harmon has written about Christian topics, once on the gospel of John and once on the book of Revelation. But the question people keep asking him is this: As a liberal Christian, why do you care so much about the Bible? Others wonder whether he is truly a Christian at all.
The Way It Happened

| Revelation: A love story gone awry. | The Gospel: A love story set aright. |
What really happened 2,000 years ago? How did a persecuted minority of end-time believers known as Christians, with their dreams of Armageddon and a conquering Messiah named Jesus, evolve into the largest religion in the world? Author Lee Harmon explores the period in which the New Testament was written in his books about John's Gospel and Revelation.

About Lee
Hello! I'm an author, historical Jesus scholar, book reviewer, and liberal Christian, which means I appreciate and attempt to exercise the humanitarian teachings of Jesus without getting hung up on any particular supernatural or religious beliefs.
The Bible is a magnificent book that has inspired and spiritually fed generations for thousands of years, and each new century seems to bring a deeper understanding of life’s purpose. This is true of not only Christianity; through the years, our age-old religions are slowly transforming from superstitious rituals into humanitarian philosophies. In short, we are growing up, and I am thrilled to be riding the wave.
I avidly read all thought-provoking religion titles. New authors: I'd love to read and review your book!

About Leslie
Hi! While Lee writes the articles and reviews the books, I edit, organize, and maintain the blog. The views expressed here are Lee's but I'm his biggest supporter! :-)
I think more religious commentaries take the “he” in Judges 1:19 to be Judah rather than the LORD. That way, they can say that Judah failed due to lack of faith or obedience (or something like that), not any deficiency on God’s part.
Yes, amen the blame is totally impossible to put on God, The reason would be human frailty and not the father of all creation
TOTALLY AGREE
Well, I actually read it that way too, “he” is Judah. But it still reads pretty simply to me, ha…Judah was able to drive out the mountain folk because God was helping, yet the valley people were still too much. Maybe God’s contribution was a bit lackadaisical? The verse is a puzzle and the context doesn’t help.
The problem was with Judah and not God!!
The problem was with Judah and not God!! The valley people not driven out was the fault of Judah and not the Lord, praise his name forever
