All tagged almighty
Yesterday we visited John 4:11 during our morning contemplation, and today we are going to return there as we dwell on the almighty nature of God and Jesus. I read a statement made by Oswald Chambers in which he wrote "The reason some of us are such poor specimens of Christianity is because we have no Almighty Christ." I looked at myself and asked if I was included in such an observation… are you wondering the same thing right now?
Our God is more than just strong, He is all powerful, and nothing is beyond His ability; nothing physically, spiritually, or mentally, is too great for Him to accomplish. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent... all powerful, all knowing, and present everywhere. If He weren’t loving, good, merciful, and just, He would strike terror in every man, but in fact His goodness pervades all things... even our hearts when we are yet in sin. He sees enough good in us, that He reaches out to us through His Son Jesus to redeem us. He has made us in His image, and in our most decrepit state there is a touch of His goodness remaining within us; a glimmer of His hope, love, and goodness smolders there, enough that He will save us if we will open ourselves to Him.
