The omnipotence of God

Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. ~ Psalm 139:7-10

 God is everywhere. To view creation and say that a higher being didn’t have a hand in it is like saying a book wrote itself using an alphabet as its guide. God determines the position of the moon and stars…our hearts beat at his command… he knows the number of hairs on our heads…he’s in our every breath.

Some deny the existence of God because of pain and suffering. They may attribute their struggles to a lack of godly concern or may feel abandoned by God and so now deny that he is even there. After all, how could a just God allow such travesty? But did God create the travesty? Is he to blame?

The unbelieving may not be aware that God has already touched their lives—every day. In countless ways, he’s healed, protected, and preserved them. Please, Lord, allow our unsaved friends and family to have clear eyesight to see your hand upon their lives and to see their cups as half full rather than half empty.

We understand this world will never completely satisfy. We know there can be no complete fulfillment here, but Christ did not come to do away with suffering; he came to touch our lives with his presence…to bind our wounds and make us completely whole—in him. Thank you, Jesus, for coming to earth to redeem man from sin and to lead the way to our true home forever in heaven.

How beautiful to be touched by the saving grace of Jesus.
