After Sarah laughs at the promise of a son at ninety, the visitor asks: Is anything too hard for the Lord? It's a rhetorical assertion - nothing is difficult for God.
The phrasing is important - not 'nothing is difficult,' but 'is anything too hard?' It invites Sarah to reconsider her laughter. Maybe this isn't as absurd as it seems.
I use this when I'm tempted to dismiss something as impossible. The question reframes - I'm declaring something impossible that God might be offering. That's arrogance on my part.
