Recently, I have been thinking about God’s power. Mainly, I think, because our world is in desperate need of healing and the only one who can do that is God. In fact, one of His names is the God Who Heals, or the Great Physician.
It’s important to pray for healing and to grieve for people around the world who are in all kinds of horrendous situations. By praying, I think we wield more power to help change the world, and individual lives, than we can even grasp or imagine. As Christians, we are incredibly blessed to be connected to the only true Power Source of the universe. You might think Rocky Mountain Power has some authority, but they ain’t nothing… let me tell you about the real deal… Jesus! These verses say it all: “Tell everyone about God’s power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!” — Psalm 68:34-35
On a more personal level, I know some very dear people who are struggling with overwhelming health issues right now. Sometimes, I think there is nothing I can do; I don’t even know what to say. Then, like lighting, God gives me verses like the ones above. “Tell everyone you know about God’s power.” Not only do I have the ability to share Christ, but the Bible says that I can approach God’s throne of grace with confidence — knowing that He stoops down to hear me pray. Isn’t that utterly amazing?!
God hears our prayers and He responds. He who is faithful will ultimately heal our world. He will heal our friends. I’m so thankful for my powerful God!
Plug in and get connected — there’s plenty of power for everyone!
