One
aspect of God’s glory is His almighty power. But how does He show His strength?
He doesn’t do it by rearranging the galaxies before our very eyes, changing the
color of the sun at a whim, or freezing a lightning bolt as a trophy to His strength.
Instead, in His love and compassion for needy people like ourselves, God has
chosen to “show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him”
(2 Chron. 16:9).
The
pattern is consistent throughout Scripture. From the dividing of the Red Sea,
to the marvel of manna in the wilderness, to the miraculous virgin birth, and
ultimately to the power of the resurrection, our Almighty God has chosen to
demonstrate His strength to bless, preserve, and protect His people.
Be
assured that He delights in showing Himself strong in the challenges of our
life. And when He proves His power on our behalf, let’s remember to give Him
the glory!
All of
God’s promises are backed by His wisdom, love, and power. (RBC)
