He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.
Amos 4:13 NIV
Ever pondered the power of our Lord God Almighty? Meditating on God’s power can soothe our biggest worries and calm our deepest fears.
The Word of God speaks often of His power—we know He created our universe in less than a week. But if that’s too much to comprehend, consider the enormity of a single mountain or ocean. Those vast, mighty things came into being simply by God’s voice—and they’re only a tiny fraction of everything He made. What power!
The Lord opens the morning curtains to reveal the dawn and pulls the sky shades back at night to bring darkness. He plots the course of the wind, arranges for rainfall, and causes grass, crops, and trees to grow. He feeds the gigantic whales of the ocean, and every tiny little bird. If our Lord has enough knowledge and power to handle these jobs, surely He can (and will!) look after us.
Problems that seem insurmountable to us are simply a breath to Him. Let’s not be anxious today—God holds each one of us in the palm of His hand.
Lord God, You are my provider. Thank You for holding such power—and for choosing me to be Your child. Please give me a greater understanding of who You are, helping me to remember that You, the Lord God Almighty, love me
