Imagine being a young girl engaged to be married and receiving a visit from an angel? One day you're planning a wedding and the next a nursery! The good news is this angel was a messenger from God - he told her she had "found favor with God" (so far so good!) and that she would give birth to a son - "the Son of the Most High"! Now this was pretty serious information and she had a choice - kind of. She could run or she could obey. She only asked "how?" and when the angel assured her it was the POWER OF GOD, she knew it must be!
"In the beginning God" shows us it was the POWER OF GOD that spoke into being all of creation (Genesis 1); it was the POWER OF GOD that parted the Red Sea (Genesis 3); it was the POWER OF GOD that spewed Jonah from the great fish's belly (Jonah 1); it was the POWER OF GOD that raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11). It has been the POWER OF GOD that has kept my husband healthy for the past three years! No power exists than that which belongs to God. A.W. Pink says in THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD:
"Nothing is too hard for Him...seeing that He is clothed with omnipotence, no prayer is too hard
for Him to answer, no need too great for Him to supply, no passion too strong for Him to subdue;
no temptation too powerful for Him to deliver from, no misery too deep for Him to relieve."
Do you need to stop trying to wrestle power from Him? Is it health? Is it finances? Is it conflict in a relationship? Is it trust? Let Him "whose arm is not too short" (Isaiah 59:1) be your strength and your hope? He alone can do the IMPOSSIBLE!
For further study Exodus 15:11, Job 36:22, Psalm 147:5, Isaiah 40:21-26, Habakkuk 3, Matthew 19:26, Mark 9:23, Luke 1:26-38, 2 Corinthians 12:9
Be blessed in your understanding of God's word!
Love,
Holly
