MIGHTY GOD – 2

July 10, 2014

There is a story about passengers who were on a ship in a severe storm and in imminent danger of sinking. The passengers were whispering "Are we going down? Are we safe?" One passenger said, "I've got to find out," so he made his way topside across the heaving decks to where the Captain of the ship had his hand firmly on the wheel. The Captain turned and saw the fear in the passenger's face and just smiled at him, not even speaking a word. On arriving below the once fearful passenger exclaimed "We're going be all right. I've seen the face of the Captain, and he smiled at me." 

What we need to do when we are crippled by fear caused by difficult circumstances is look away from the "stormy waves" and into the serene face of the Captain of our ship - Jesus, our MIGHTY GOD, the One Who is always mighty to save. We need to see the reassuring smile of our Savior Who alone is able to calm the storms simply by speaking these words to our heart - "Peace, be still!"

The Name MIGHTY GOD begs the question - "Is anything too difficult for the LORD?" (Gen 18:14) Jeremiah 32:17 says, “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” Ephesians 3:20 makes us know that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we may ask or think, according to the power that works in us.  This is one of the greatest and most powerful verses in the Bible as it is a verse of assurance that God is the only able God.

He is the Almighty God. The one that parted the red sea; brought water from the rock; turned water to wine; calmed the raging storm and a whole lot He has done and will still do if only you will just trust Him completely.

Enjoy!
