The Power of God

3/14/2021

In these turbulent times, even believers get weary. When this happens, I have to check where my focus lies. Is it on the world and the circumstances that surround me, or is it on Jesus? Is my focus an eternal one or a temporal one? I have access, through the Bible and prayer, to the Creator of the Universe. I think I sometimes lose sight of this truth. The following are just a few verses that will help us to remember that God is the victor no matter the battle. 

1 Chronicles 16:11 "Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually." (ESV)

Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. (NIV)

Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' " (NIV)

1 Chronicles 29:11 "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all." (NIV)

1 Corinthians 6;14 "By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also." (NIV)

Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exalt over you with loud singing." (ESV)

1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (NIV)

May the Word of God and prayer be our focus and where we seek our strength.
