MEDITATION OF THE WEEK: THE POWER OF GOD
MEDITATION OF THE WEEK: THE POWER OF 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?”

THE LIMITLESS, ABUNDANT POWER OF GOD IS IMMEASURABLE! “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. 7 Sing to the LORD with
thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre…12 Praise the LORD, O
Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.”

OUR GOD IS GREAT, MIGHTY AND POWERFUL—EXALT HIS GLORIOUS NAME!

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.

THE LORD ALONE IS GOD—THERE IS NO OTHER! 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)

THE POWER OF GOD IS EQUIPPED TO CHANGE THE STONY HEART OF 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. 27 And 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 heart and soul of man!

the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”

EVERYTHING THAT EXIST, EXISTS BY GOD’S POWER! 33 Oh, 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? 35 And 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.

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.”
