The Arm of the LORD is NOT too Short

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."  (Isaiah 59:1)

"The LORD answered Moses, "Is the LORD's arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you." (Numbers 11:23)

Both these verses that I came across at different times reference the "arm of the LORD" not being too short.   That phrase indicates that God is ABLE and that is not limited or restricted in His power to act.

In the Isaiah passage, it reminds us that God has provided the way to salvation and He is able to hear prayers.  But, the following verse after also tells us that He does not hear the wicked, for our sin separates us from HIM.   So, that when He does not answer, it is definitely not because He is not able to.

In the Numbers passage, Moses doubted that meat would be able to be provided to all the Israelites in the desert for the whole month, but, God tells Him that HE IS ABLE.

These two passages stood out for me, because it reminds me to continue to trust in the LORD, whose arm is not too short because HE IS ABLE.
