January 12, 2013 In God's Power

In God’s Power Job 26:13-14 His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent. 14 These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. AT TIMES my wife and I have had the opportunity to help some people with some material needs. The things aren’t a very big deal to most of us, but a small amount of help can be a huge help to people at certain times in their lives. Many people live in hopeless desperation of things ever being good for them. Our prayer for each person is that they do see God’s power at work to provide and care for them, and they begin to live in a true hope of his power to heal their despair. What happens when the hard things come into your life? Do you despair, or do you hope? God’s Word teaches that what seems to us to be impossible despair is always within his power to redeem. Too often I hear the phrase, “God doesn’t give you more than you can handle.” But the truth is he does give you more than you can handle because he wants you to turn and trust him to handle it! Job not only describes the power of God, he describes how the Spirit creates and changes, how he intervenes and alters even the heavens. Pause and consider that the sky is beyond comprehension. Anything to do with astronomy’s numbers is inconceivable. But guess what! God is bigger than that. He has formed the countless stars. The universe is his, and so are you. Now, are you willing to talk to God about your problem? In despair do you think he’s too small to help you? Then think the power of God and pray to receive his power into your life. It’s True! God’s power is bigger than your despair.
