Beneficial Power
September 12, 2013
Boxing and strong-man competitions have a unique aspect to them. In the events, the athletes compete individually for the purpose of demonstrating their superior strength. Its like arm wrestlingyou do it to prove that you are the strongest person in the room.
One aspect of Gods glory is His almighty power. But how does He show His strength? He doesnt do it by rearranging the galaxies before our very eyes, changing the color of the sun at a whim, or freezing a lightning bolt as a trophy to His strength. Instead, in His love and compassion for needy people like ourselves, God has chosen to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him (2 Chron. 16:9).
The pattern is consistent throughout Scripture. From the dividing of the Red Sea, to the marvel of manna in the wilderness, to the miraculous virgin birth, and ultimately to the power of the resurrection, our Almighty God has chosen to demonstrate His strength to bless, preserve, and protect His people.
Be assured that He delights in showing Himself strong in the challenges of our life. And when He proves His power on our behalf, lets remember to give Him the glory!
>Lord, thank You for choosing to expend Your
divine power on the needs of my life. When my
strength is weak, teach me to trust that Your mighty
arm is able to guard, protect, and deliver!
All of Gods promises are backed by His wisdom, love, and power.
Read: 2 Chronicles 16:6-13
