UNLIMITED POWER

Read:  Isaiah 40:25-31

[God] brings out their host by number;

He calls them all by name.  Isaiah 40:26

Why don’t the stars fall down?”  A child may ask that question, but so does an astronomer.  And they both get essentially the same answer;  A mysterious power or energy upholds everything and prevents our cosmos from collapsing into chaos.

Hebrews 1:3 tells us that it is Jesus who upholds all things by the word of His power.  He is the source of all the energy there is, whether the explosive potential packed inside an atom or the steaming kettle on the kitchen stove.

That energy is not simply a mindless force.  No, God is the personal plower who created everything out of nothing, including the stars (Genesis 1, Isaiah 40:26); who divided the Red Sea and delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage (Exodus 14:21-22); who brought to pass the virgin birth of Jesus (Luke 1:34-35); and who raised Him from the dead and conquered death (2 Timothy 1:10).  Our God, the one and only true God, has the power to answer prayer, meet our needs, and change our lives.

So when life’s problems are baffling, when you face some Red Sea impossibility, call upon the wonder-working God who upholds all things.  And remember that with our Almighty God, nothing is impossible.  VCG

Thou art coming to a King-

Large petitions with thee ring;

For His grace and power are such

None can ever ask too much. -Newton

God is greater than our greatest problem.
