God is all-powerful

Our God can do anything.....there is nothing He cannot do.

I come to realize more and more that the life of a believer is a life that is spent learning to trust God.

How can we trust Him if we do not know Him?

My purpose in writing on the attributes of God is to reveal His character as He has revealed to us in His word.

We cannot understand our need for a Savior without knowing God.

II Chronicles 20:6 "O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In Your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you."

Job 42:2 "I know that You(God) can do all things and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted."

Psalm 66: 5-6 "Come and see what God has done: He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man. He turned the sea into dry land: they passed through the river on foot. There we did rejoice in Him, who rules by His might forever."

Psalm 89: 8-9 "O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea: when it's waves rise You still them."

Isaiah 42: 21-28 "Do you not know? Do you not hear? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

It is He (God) who sits above the circle of the earth, and it's inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in:

Who brings princes to nothing, and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when He blows on them and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble.

To whom then shall you compare Me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of His might, and because He is strong in power not one is missing."

Mark 14:36 "Jesus said, Abba, Father, all things are possible for You."

Knowing what these verses say about God changes everything for us.

Read these verses over and over.

God put His power in His words that are contained in our Bibles....what he tells us is true and able to change our lives.
