NEVER UNDER-ESTIMATE THE POWER OF GOD


Sometimes life comes fast and furious at us and it is difficult to see God in the midst of things.  The apostle Paul says that in our lives today “we see in a mirror dimly” (I Cor. 13:12).  Everything isn’t crystal clear.  We walk by faith and not by sight, and some times it gets pretty dark out there. 
           
In the “unclearness,” however, there is a God who is at work in our lives and in our world.  What we see about God in the Scripture is that we ought never underestimate His power.  He is the God with whom nothing is impossible and He is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think (See Luke 1:37 and Eph. 3:20).   
           
Live faithfully in the provision of the One who is the Maker of heaven and earth, who opens and no one shuts, who shuts and no one opens.  I John 4:4 tells us “greater is He who is in [us] than he who is in the world.”  We may be living in a world where “we see in a mirror dimly,” but we live there indwelled by the God of the universe who has called us to Himself and made us alive in Jesus.
           
Whatever you are facing, face it with God.  Don’t under-estimate His power to work His works.  God is God and no situation you or I might come up against can undo this fact.  He has redeemed us in Jesus and by the power of His resurrection He can hold us steady each step along the way. 
           
Never underestimate the power of God.
