Power Belongs To God!

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR APRIL 26 – MAY 2, 2020
MEDITATION OF THE WEEK: POWER BELONGS TO GOD!
Job 11:7-10 (AMP) states: “Can you find out the deep things of God, or can you by searching find out the limits of the Almighty [explore His depths, ascend to His heights, extend to His breadths, and comprehend His infinite perfection]? 8 His wisdom is as high as the heights of heaven! What can you do? It is deeper than Sheol (the place of the dead)! What can you know? 9 Longer in measure [and scope] is it than the earth, and broader than the sea. 10 If [God] sweeps in and arrests and calls into judgment, who can hinder Him? [If He is against a man, who shall call Him to account for it?”

DAILY FOCUS
 
SUNDAY 26 GOD’S POWER IS ABSOLUTE! “Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his
understanding is beyond measure. 6 The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the
wicked to the ground. 7Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our
God on the lyre…12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13 For
he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you.”
Psalm 147 5-13 (ESV)
 
MONDAY 27 GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE TO THE GLORIOUS NAME OF THE LORD, YOUR
GOD! 11 “Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the
victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine;
thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 12 Both
riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is
power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength
unto all. 13Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
name.”
1 Chron 29 11-13 (KJV)
 
TUESDAY 28 GOD ALONE IS GOD AND THERE IS NO OTHER—HE IS THE ALL-WISE, ALLPOWERFUL GOD:
56 “Praise the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel, just
as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises he gave
through his servant Moses. 57 May the LORD our God be with us as he was with
our ancestors; may he never leave us or abandon us…59 And may these words
that I have prayed in the presence of the LORD be before him constantly, day
and night, so that the LORD our God may give justice to me and to his people
Israel, according to each day’s needs. 60 Then people all over the earth will know
that the LORD alone is God and there is no other. 61 And may you be completely
faithful to the LORD our God. May you always obey his decrees and commands,
just as you are doing today.”
1 Kings 8 56-61 (NLT)
 
WEDNESDAY 29 THE POWER OF GOD CAN CHANGE THE HEART OF EVERY MAN!
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you
your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27And I will put my Spirit in
you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.” Let’s
pray for the body of Christ to be built up strong in faith; pray for all our unsaved
loved ones as well as the nations of this world!
Ezekiel 36 26-27 (NIV)
 
THURSDAY 30 THE GREATNESS OF GOD IS UNFATHOMABLE, WHO CAN COMPARE TO HIS
LIMITLESS POWER? “
5 The spirits of the dead tremble underneath the waters
and their inhabitants… 14Yet these are just the fringes of His ways [mere
samples of His power], The faintest whisper of His voice! who can contemplate
the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”
Job 26 5-14 (AMP)
 
FRIDAY 1 EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS, EXISTS BY GOD’S POWER! 33Oh, how great are
God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to
understand his decisions and his ways! 34 For who can know the LORD’s
thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? 35And who has given him so
much that he needs to pay it back? 36 For everything comes from him and exists
by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Romans 11 33-36 (NLT)
 
SATURDAY 2 IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE ALMIGHTY, ALL-POWERFUL GOD?
“Behold (listen closely), the days are coming,” says the LORD, “When I will raise
up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as King and act wisely and will
do [those things that accomplish] justice and righteousness in the land. “6
In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by
which He will be called; ‘The LORD Our Righteousness.”
Jeremiah 23 5-6 (AMP)
 
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT: 1 Peter 5:11-13 ( VOICE) says: “ For all power belongs to God, now and forever. Amen.”
