Power and Love

We know that God is all powerful. He created all things, from the magnitude of the universe, to the complexity of our bodies; he performed incredible powerful miracles like the great flood, the plagues in Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea to the many miracles Jesus performed, like raising Lazarus from death, and casting out demons. We know from the story of Job that the devil is subject to God’s permission and authority. Who would question whether God could strike anyone on earth down at any time, or wipe out anything man could build with a single act of Nature. God’s Power is Awesome!

At the same time, 1 John 4:8 says, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is Love.” God is love…the magnitude of this is also difficult for us to understand. The most compassion, care, empathy, sympathy, sacrifice, we can feel or express is just a drop compared to God’s love, because God is Love.

Together, how can we not submit ourselves to God’s will, knowing that by doing so, we are supported and protected by the ultimate power and cared for by the one who defines love.

Dear Lord, Let us take both comfort, and strength in knowing that You are Power and Love, and you love us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

One thought on “Power and Love”

  1. Some people in this world have gotten to point where they do not know how to Love. And we are becoming to be a Loveless world. But the devil is a liar and the truth is not him in. Because a lot of them do not know God they fear the unknown but my prayer is that they would get to know God before it’s too late Jesus is coming soon! God is Faithful, Loving, Kind, Patient and so much more…
    …we must Love one another. Love is Powerful.. let us continue to Pray for one another! Our family, Our Church, Pray for our leaders, and Pray for Our Nation in Jesus Name. Amen!
