God is omnipotent

The most powerful energy source in our solar system is, of course, the sun. Scientists tell us that the sun generates energy every second to meet our energy demands on earth for a whole year. That’s power! However, even the sun’s energy is limited. By contrast, the God who made the sun is unlimited in power. He is omnipotent.

To describe God as omnipotent, or all powerful, is to remember that God is over this universe and still in control of His creation. He isn’t weakened by time, and His energy is never depleted. In addition, God has authority over our lives.

Frequently the Bible refers to God as “The Almighty.” For example, Revelation 4.8 describes the angels around the throne of God crying out, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty.” Because God is omnipotent, nothing is too difficult for Him. Jeremiah 32.17 declares, “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Jesus expressed this same idea in Matthew 19.26, saying, “With God all things are possible.”

Do you realise that your most difficult problem is no problem for God? He’s all powerful. He can meet your greatest need. He has already extended His mighty hand of grace and mercy to provide forgiveness for our sins. He did this through His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to pay our eternal penalty for sin. God is powerful enough to save us, and He’s powerful enough to help us overcome life’s most demanding difficulties. But we must put our faith in Him. Jesus reminded us in John 15.5, “Apart from me you can do nothing.” Are you ready to give up trying to solve your own problems and turn to Jesus Christ?

God’s all powerful nature is evident all around us. Creation itself testifies to His power, as Romans 1.20 tells us. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” We have no reason for doubting God’s omnipotence. We can simply look around us and we’ll see the evidence of His unlimited power. We can also look at Jesus to see the power of God. It was by God’s unlimited power that He raised Jesus from the dead. First Corinthians 6.14 says, “By his power God raised the Lord from the 3,and he will raise us also.” God has power to create, to save, and to give life. No problem you face will ever tax His power.  Nothing is too difficult for Him.

Why not renew your confidence in the unlimited power of God? Thank Him for being all powerful, and invite Him to work powerfully in your life today.
