God is Powerful
Jeremiah 32:17 - “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you" (NIV).
Matthew 19:26 - "Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (NIV).
God is omnipotent, all-powerful. Nothing is too difficult for Him. God makes this abundantly clear to Job when He asks, "Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up [God’s] dominion over the earth? (Job 38:32-33) NIV. Job gets a revelation of the power of God and completely humbles himself. The power of God knows no limits. He has power over the vast stretches of the universe and power over the cells in your body. He shows His power in the rising of the sun each day. He showed His power in the healing of my fatal kidney sickness when I was six years old. God shows His power in the mending of relationships. He has power over every facet of every detail in this universe. And His power is not even confined to our known universe. How great is our God!
