God Is All-Powerful

"For He Spoke, and it was done;

He commanded, and it stood fast."

Psalm 33:9

***

God spoke the world into being. But did He speak in a...divine whisper? Or a reverberating shout? In the beginning there was nothing. Then the Lord uttered, "Let there be..." and, like the purest and most God-glorifying form of magic, there was a sun...the moon and the stars...the water and land and firmament...the birds in the air, fish in the sea, beasts in the fields...and Man! In the very first chapter of the Bible we learn that God communicates. He did. He does. And He always will. Don't let anyone, anywhere, tell you otherwise.

There is a lot to be said about the power of words, especially when those words originate with and come forth from the mind and heart of God. The Word of God carries with it the hope of glory and has the power to save a soul and set all who are held captive free. The Word of God tells us the truth about the holy One of Israel, our God. The Word encourages and unites, fills us with the riches of all wisdom and understanding and whether the Word is read...or It echoes down the corridors of our minds...or the Holy Spirit whispers it into the depth of our souls, communicating it is some personal and intimate way, after seeing it with our eyes, or reflecting on it with our midns, or embracing it in our hearts...we will know and understand Jesus better for having been touched by It. For it is in the Word of our God that the true treasures of life are found.

God can do more...accomplish in and through us more than we can ever imagine...via the supernatural and transforming power of His Word. From that one thing, God's Word, all things worth having come. I like what Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:20-21,

"Now to Him who is able to do

exceeding abundantly beyond all that

we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

to Him be the glory in the church

and in Christ Jesus to all generations

forever and ever. Amen."

And it is the power of the Word, Jesus, who came to earth in human form...and the power of His Spirit working in us...taking the words of truth and teaching them to us and applying them in our lives...that is what transforms our lives into the miracle He intended them to be. It is not self-effort, it is God...as He communicates with us in tender and loving words of truth...that changes our minds, improves the condition of our hearts, and completely renovates the spirit within.

Happy indeed those ears that listen

not to the voice outside

but to the Truth inside.

Thomas a' Kempis

May God bless you until next time.
