Jeremiah 32:19 (AMP) Great [are You] in counsel and mighty in deeds, Whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to reward or repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings,
There was quite a stir yesterday as Chief Justice, chief counsel Roberts, cast the deciding vote in deciding upon the legality of the health care bill. It was not an easy decision to make as indicated by the 5/4 verdict. The decision will impact everyone from one degree to another and be a major topic until the elections in November.
In reality, today's passage acknowledges that there is only One who rules and holds sway over the universe, He is the creator and sustain-er of all things and in verse 17 the prophet Jeremiah reminds us that "nothing is too hard" for Him.
We may struggle over big decisions in our lives, in personal relationships, courses of action in dealing with illnesses, decisions regarding employment and within our jobs. Are we seeking God's counsel in His Word in making important decisions?
The verses should encourage us that the creator of the heavens and the earth is concerned for us but the same verses remind us that we are accountable for our actions. In the end, may we come to the conclusion that the prophet did -
"Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you." Jeremiah 32:17 (ESV)

Jeremiah 32:17-19 (ESV)
17 'Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. 18 You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts, 19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
