Think about it. What kind of power
is required to speak a universe into existence? What kind of strength must
someone possess to scatter stars into infinite space? How explosive do you have
to be to ignite the sun or to sustain it's fire? What kind of brute force is
required to stack up mountains twenty thousand feet into the air?
Only one force is able to
accomplish such a feat: God's power.
Throughout history, when God's people found themselves facing impossible
odds, they reminded themselves of God's limitless power. Even Job took comfort
by remembering "He stirs up the sea with His power… The thunder of His
power who can understand?
Like… Job, we occasionally need a little reminder
of what God can do, especially if things aren't going our way. In Psalm 115:3,
the psalmist points out that God can do whatever He pleases. That is the
essence of what omnipotence is all about. Omnipotent simply means
"all-powerful." God never has to ask permission. His unrestrained,
indescribable, infinite power and abilities have no parameters.
