How Powerful Do You Think God Is?

Job 42:2

How powerful do you think God is? I know that we refer to Him as the Creator of the Universe. We call him the Almighty. But, in your personal life, how powerful do you think God is? It’s one thing to think of God’s awesome power being active in Creation, the parting of the Red Sea, or even the fire that came down on Mount Carmel. Those are all historical references that are somewhat removed from our day to day life. I have heard many Christians say that they “know” or “believe that God is at work in their lives. So, how powerful do you think God is? Or lives are intricately interwoven with the lives of those around us. Each of us affects and responds to the other. In the midst of this ever-changing tapestry of terrestrialism, God’s plan is at work. We each may play a part in helping or in hurting the plan that God has for someone else, and yet, God’s plan is never derailed. No matter what other people may do to us, do we really trust that God’s plan is still at work in our lives? So, I’ll ask again... How powerful do you think God is?  

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I love You. I know that with you all things are possible. Lord, help me grow in my faith so that I can see more clearly and trust more deeply in your power and plan for my life. Amen.
