The Power of God

“...saying, ‘We give Thee thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art and who wast, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and hast begun to reign.’” Rev. 11:17

How often, after reading a biblical account where God moved mightily in the nation of Israel or the early church, have you caught yourself thinking, “I would never doubt God if I had an experience like that”?

The whole narrative of the Bible is packed with illustrations of God’s mighty power. From Genesis to Revelation we are confronted with the power of God from creation to final judgment and ultimate rule over all the earth.

The Bible is not a book of tales and myths. It’s God’s inspired Word about Himself; and we know that He cannot lie.

“But how do I experience God’s power in my life today?” we ask. Do we look for exhibitions of His power? Do we ask for His power to be displayed in our circumstances?

Probably our greatest hindrance to experiencing God’s power is that we want Him to do something for us. When once we get a glimpse of God’s majesty, we will be awestruck with wonder, and our only response can be like those around the throne crying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!” Rev. 19:6

Do you want to know the power of God? Stop focusing on your circumstances. Look at Who is on the throne.
