All Powerful
Power is multifaceted. Everyone knows a little something about it.
Two hundred forty volts of electricity is powerful enough to power strong motors, appliances, and other devices that yield significant results. However, when we see lightning, we realize that the power in a lightning strike far exceeds 240 volts. We understand that there is much greater electrical power in nature.
A 60-mile-an-hour wind can be powerful and cause some damage, but a tornado with 200-mile-an-hour winds is far more destructive due to its much greater power. We respect a hurricane’s power far more than a 60-mile-an-hour wind.
The idea of power can be subjective based on what kind of power we are discussing and what situation it is applied to. We witness isolated expressions of power in some way every day of our lives. The matter of powerful things or people is important to all of us. So what would all-powerful look like? How would the idea of someone being all-powerful impact us? Is there such a person?
Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Psalm 62:11 God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.
Power belongs to God. Power is not outsourced to Him. He doesn’t pay the local power company for His supply.
God is not just mighty, as if He is slightly stronger than other things or His enemies. He is almighty and all-powerful. Nothing can even come close to His power. God is the only one who can truly say that nothing is too hard for Him.
You can try to put your trust in a man or someone you think has power, but only God can say nothing is too hard for Him. We define this attribute of God by using one word - Omnipotent - meaning all-powerful. You can spend every day fighting for yourself and trying to be tougher or smarter. Or you can run to your Father, who has all power, knowledge, and wisdom and can impart what you need in any situation. But to be inclined to run to Him, you need to believe He is good and has the power to help you and will use His power to do so.
Believe He is for you and not against you, and believe that He will use His power to help you. If God be for us, who can be against us? I encourage you to turn to Him, who has all power in any and every situation, regardless of how small or big it might be. Let Him lead and help you today.
