What about the power of a word?  A judge can, with one word, sentence a prisoner to life in prison or the death penalty.  That same judge can also, with one word, set a prisoner free.

What about the power of God?  I wrote about my feelings on God’s power in an Easter blog last year:  God’s power is so tremendously great that He actually raised Jesus from death back into life!  Amazing!!  It’s so easy to just say…He arose.  But just think of it – He actually rose FROM THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE!  That never happened to anyone else, that didn’t physically die again.  

I sometimes have a really hard time wrapping my mind around that thought.  Raising someone from death to life.  I know that many people have been declared clinically “dead” and through CPR or some other method, have been brought “back to life” again.  But not after they had been dead for three days, as Christ was!  WOW!

God’s power is unlimited.  Have you ever had your electricity go off?  Have you ever heard of airplanes crashing because of loss of power?  God’s power just doesn’t have that kind of limitation.  Well ….because He’s GOD!

My brother, Bill, wrote about the Israelites in Biblical times, who didn’t understand God’s complete power.  Here’s what Bill wrote:

Praise the Lord indeed!  God is truly on OUR side.  And as Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do ALL things, through Christ, who keeps pouring POWER into me!” 

Woohoo!
