I find that one of the most fascinating things about our God is His omnipotence. His power is amazingly limitless and His wisdom far beyond the comprehension of our human minds. As it was said in Ecclesiastes 3:14, “whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him.”  This power is clearly revealed to us as we read the very first Scripture of God’s Word in Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (1:1)

According to science, creating something requires something to create with. Matter does not come from a vacuum, and yet our Lord fully transcended the limits of science and human logic by making all which we see and know when the earth was yet “without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” (Genesis 1:2) No tools were necessary; no workers were hired; and no energy was expended, “for He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9)


“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:”

            -Jeremiah 32:17

The God of the Bible is not limited by circumstance and we should thus worship Him despite the circumstances we face. Nothing is too hard for Him and He has offered proof of this fact more times than can be counted. He not only shined light into the void of space during Creation, but has since shined the “light of the knowledge of the Glory of God” into the once black recesses of our sinful hearts (II Corinthians 4:6). Truly, “with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

Your blog post is so right! I can't believe how many times I've thought something could never happen because I thought it was impossible...never stopping to think that maybe God's a little more powerful than I am. It's great to be reminded of the awesome power of our Heavenly Father. Great post!

Amen! Sometimes I chuckle at myself for having so little faith given the immensity of our God's provision and power. Besides, I've seen that omnipotent hand moving in small and large ways. I move forward knowing His faithfulness in all that lays behind me. What a good & gracious God is He!
