For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that
they are without excuse (Romans 1:20)
1The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their
utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his
course. 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat (Psalms 19:1-6)

God's power can be seen in His works...the creation of the our world, the creation of mankind, His miracles with the people of Isreal (the parting of the Red Sea,
giving Abraham and Sarah a child at ages 100 and 90 respectively, bringing down the walls of Jericho, etc.), Jesus' miracles (healing the sick, giving sight to the
blind, raising the dead to life, among other miracles), bringing Jesus back to life after being dead for 3 days. There is no force in the universe that is more powerful
than God (Psalm 135:5) and therefore God does as He pleases. And because God is all powerful His is able to come to the aid of His people.

Application for Today:

I can be certain that my life is never out of control, because everything and everyone is under God's control. Nothing happens outside of His sovereignty, outside of
God allowing it to happen. And all things bring about His ultimate purposes--His purpose will prevail! And as I "see" God's power, I have to stop and ask:
How can I doubt God bringing about His purposes in my life?
The word impossible should not be in my vocabulary! For nothing is impossible for God!
Even my own
weakness is not a barrier for God. I never have to worry. I can live peacefully, in contentment, knowing that everything is under control, and under Your watchful eye.
