The Truth of the Day: God is Mighty

The King is mighty, he loves justice—

   you have established equity;

in Jacob you have done

   what is just and right.

Psalms 99:4 NIV

Knowing God is really why we were created. Christ told his disciples that eternal life was knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ (John 17:2). Knowing who God is allows us to walk by faith because we know what to expect from God. 

The truth today is that God is mighty. Paul prayed for the Ephesians that they would know God's "incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand..." (Ephesians 1:19-20). What are you going through that you need God's mighty strength? As you pray, as you go through the day, as you face your trails and challenges, remember that God's mighty strength is at work in you.

He Is Able to Do More

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV

More than we ask or imagine...I heard a NBA coach once say, in response to a question by a court side reporter about the obvious number of free throw calls in his teams favor, "Well, I think we should of got more calls." The reporter was kind of stunned and didn't know what to say. That is how I am when I read these verses. God is able to do more than I ask or imagine. 

Well, OK, Lord strengthen us in such a way that we can't even imagine. Provide for us in ways that we don't even know how to ask. Be glorified in our actions in ways we can't begin to measure.

Power and Strength for You

Proclaim the power of God,

   whose majesty is over Israel,

   whose power is in the heavens.

You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary;

   the God of Israel gives power and       
      strength to his people. 

Praise be to God!

Psalms 68:34-35 NIV

LISTEN... Psalm 46:8-11

"Come and see the works of the LORD,
     the desolations he has brought on the earth.
 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
     he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
     he burns the shields with fire.
 "Be still and know that I am God;
      I will be exalted among the nations,
      I will be exalted in the earth."
The LORD Almighty is with us;
     the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah" 
Psalm 46:8-11
