Question

Why did God ask Moses: “Is the hand of Jehovah too short”? (Numbers 11:21-23)Despite Moses’ strong faith, however, about a year after Israel’s miraculous deliverance, he questioned Jehovah’s ability to give meat to His people. Moses could not imagine how Jehovah could provide enough meat to satisfy the millions who were camping in the desolate wilderness. In answer, Jehovah asked Moses: “Is the hand of Jehovah too short?” (Read Numbers 11:21-23.) Here, the expression “the hand of Jehovah” refers to God’s holy spirit, or his power in action. In effect, Jehovah was asking Moses, ‘Do you really think that I cannot do what I say I will?’

I want you to answer the question above in a very short sentence, I want you to make it simple, causal, and understandable, answer like a Jehovah’s Witness and use the JW bible to help you. Remember, a very short sentence.
