Great and Mighty

"Great and Mighty is the Lord our God, great and mighty is He" is more than just a song! The scriptures teach us of the greatness and power that God has. This power is afforded to us when we trust in Him as our Lord and Savior. In studying Ephesians 1:19-23, we find this power as demonstrated in the exaltation of Christ. This word for "power" is from the Greek word "megathos" from which we get our word "megathon" which measures atomic explosives. Now THAT is power!

This power raised Christ from the dead. When God raised Jesus Christ, He demonstrated three things for us. First, the power to raise Christ shows that God has the power to conquer all the trials and temptations of life. We face trials and often fail but that does not diminish the power of God. We must put that power to work when we walk through the valleys.
Second, The resurrection of Jesus Christ shows that God has the power to give man a new life and power to live the new life. He makes all things in us new!
Third, The power to raise Christ from the dead shows that God has the power to raise men from the dead. The believer will experience the great resurrection power of God and be resurrected from the dead.
Daily we have the opportunity to walk in the power of God. This power will help us accomplish the things God has for us as His children and as His church. We are on Kingdom business with atomic power!
I pray God will be so real to you today and bless you as you faithfully walk in Him!
