God’s Power

With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much
more than anything we can ask or imagine. To Him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time,
forever and ever. Amen. –Ephesians 3:20-21 (NCV)

To what can we liken the power of God?
We cannot measure it by any comprehensible standards.
His power is greater than the ocean’s depths,
Higher than the heavens, broader than the expanse of earth.
It reaches beyond any barriers that can be erected.
It breaks the hardest hearts and enters any lives
Willing to accept the power that can lift and change.

Amazingly, God’s power works in and through His children.
Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, showed the way.
He made the power and love of Almighty God accessible.
Alone, I am weak, helpless, like a leaf tossed in the wind.
With God, I am empowered to do His will, follow His way.
Gratitude wells up like a mighty fountain when I consider
That all-powerful God visits and motivates me. Amen.
