God is All-Powerful

Realize you can't. Realize HE can. 

These are words spoken by Phil Comer in chapel today. (And reposted on Facebook by my friend that made me think more into it)

These are words that sometimes seem as if they are an easy action to do- Realizing that He can do all things.

Sometimes I forget that He is the God of my life and want things my way, or without His help. But who doesn't do that, right? 

Our God is a God who can help us with anything.

"O Sovereign Lord! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power. Nothing is too hard for you! (Jeremiah 32:17).

Our amazing God is capable of doing anything-as long as it does not violate any of His other attributes. No task is too big for Him. He never fails. And He is never tired, frustrated, or discouraged.

Yet our all-powerful Creator cares for us? He cares for us even though we do fail, and even though we always seem to be getting tired, frustrated, and discouraged. He longs to exhibit His power in our lives.

David writes, "When I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers-the moon and the stars You have set in place- what are mortals that You should think of us, mere humans that You should care for us? (Psalm 8:3,4).

Isn't it amazing that no matter what we are facing, God can help us? Nothing is too hard for Him. No need is to great for Him to meet. No problem is too complicated for Him to solve. No enemy is too strong for Him to conquer. No prayer is too difficult for Him to answer. 

The Bible promises, "By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope" (Ephesians 3:20).

If our hearts and motives are pure and we truly seek to do God's will, then why is it so hard to know and understand that there is nothing too difficult for us if we depend on His strength? 

"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13).

Lord, You are all-powerful.

Help me to realize that YOU can

and that I can't. You are the Lord

of my life, and I need to start treating

You that way. Help me be obedient to You.
