Psalm 62:11 “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.”
Every believer can thank God that He is the One with the power. If humans had control of it, no doubt it would be misused.
Thinking about this verse and God’s power brings many thoughts to my mind that apply to the believer. Here are some of them that I hope will be a blessing to you.
- The omnipotent God demonstrated His power so we could know it when He created the universe from nothing and then made human beings with love – and redeemed us when we fell:
Genesis chapter 1-3
- God uses His power for the benefit of the believer – if you love and are serving Him:
Ro. 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
- Nothing is beyond His power:
Mt. 19:26 “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
- God is willing to show His power through and to believers who walk close to Him:
II Chr. 16:9a “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.”
- God is able to use His power to fulfill His promises and none of them will fail:
Mk. 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
- God is willing and able to help you defeat Satan and sin because He is much stronger than both:
I Jn. 4:4 “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”
II Cor. 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.”
- God’s power is able to sustain you when facing trials and uncertainty:
II Cor. 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Praise His Name that He not only has power but that He is willing to use it on your behalf for His glory!
