The Problem with Christians

LFC: I know right! Esquilax is da bomb. He wins best debater every year because he just cleans house every time. He doesn't let one tiny microbe of bad argument escape... hence his cool title

The obstacle that it must overcome is the constant movement of all reactions toward equilibrium. They have elegant systems to manipulate molecules and couple reactions together so that they can disrupt equilibrium. If they could not avoid chemical equilibrium, they could not survive. However, this obstacle is also essential for life. The fact that reactions have a desire to move toward equilibrium allows organisms to take advantage of this to utilize energy.

Right... did God create this obstacle for himself? Or was it something he had no control over?

He created the obstacle, but the obstacle is necessary. No life would be possible if reactions didn't move toward equilibrium, and life would not be possible if they could not avoid equilibrium. In other words, cells need the chemical laws that govern reactions (the inherent movement toward equilibrium) so they can gain energy, and they need a mechanism to avoid internal equilibrium so that they can function.
