The greatness of God’s power!
























The greatness of God’s power!
God holds the whole ocean in
His hand, and He created the land on which we stand and walk. This same power
is available to us today! By this power we can be liberated from the sin that
dwells within us.

Psalm 9:9-10 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold
in times of trouble.

1 Chronicles
16:11 
 Seek the
LORD and his strength;  seek his presence continually!

 

There is
no end to God's greatness

Our
God is all-knowing. He knows our faults, our weaknesses, our sins, and our
rebellions, yet He loves us. Our God is all-powerful. He could snuff out our
lives in an instant, yet He continues to bless us with life. Our God is all-present. He is everywhere at all times, He watches us,
and is involved in all that we do. Yet, He shows grace and leads us in our
lives away from spiritual and physical danger.
When we think about the
greatness of God compared to our sin, we cannot help but bless His awesome
name!
Who is
God?
God is the power that created the heavens and
the earth. When He said, “Let
there be light!
the light came to the earth, and
He created day and night. (Genesis
1
) God parted the Red Sea; He made the walls of Jericho fall without a
single blow. (Exodus
14:21
Joshua
6:20
). Even the sun and the moon have to stand still at His command. (Joshua 10:13)
God is
infinitely great
. The prophet Isaiah made an attempt at describing Him:
“Who
has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, Measured heaven with a span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in
scales And the hills in a balance?” 
Isaiah 40:12.
God is eternal
This is the same God
with whom we can have a personal relationship
. He is always the
same. He is everlasting.
That means that this same power, the same tremendous power
that parted the Red Sea in a moment, is available now – to you and me! 
God’s power is sufficient
We must
lay hold of faith in God’s power in our personal lives. This power is strong enough to set us free from sin and bring us into a
life of abiding in the will of God
; this gives us a future and hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Faith in
God’s power allows us to let go and instead let Him – He who has all power over
heaven and earth – guide us. God’s power is exceedingly great!
