The Power of God

and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.” Daniel 2:20

In his important book, “The Crucifixion of Ministry”, seminary professor Andrew Purves describes what he needed as he faced down a cancer diagnosis and the upcoming chemotherapy he would soon endure: “I remember lying in hospital after cancer surgery, wondering what the upcoming six months of chemotherapy would be like and whether I was going to make it through the process. What I need now, I thought, is not a theological treatise to edify my mind, though that has its place. Not some sense that God in Christ is in solidarity with me in my suffering and fear, though that too is helpful. What I need is a God of power. I need a God who acts to change things.”

Our Lord God, the Creator of the Universe; His power is overwhelming.

Praise the Lord that He is all-powerful and ask Him to work powerfully through you.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20-21
