Scripture Reading: Psalm 33:6-9, Exodus 15:1-21, Jeremiah 32:26-27, Mark 4:35-41, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, Jude 1:24-25
God’s omnipotence is perhaps one of the first things we learn about Him. God’s power is how all things came into being, and He uses this power to sustain creation. God has unlimited power over all things at all times. The first passage in today’s reading alone is enough to rattle our finite minds. How does He do it? How is anyone that powerful?
While some days we may be filled with awe and wonder at this reality, other days we may wonder why He chooses to exercise His power in the way He does. Or more often than not, we wonder why He seems to withhold His unlimited power in devastating circumstances. In these moments, we wonder why He doesn’t prevent, provide, or hold some things together when He very well could.
Scripture does not speak to each individual circumstance we will face, but the Bible does tell us that God’s power is expressed according to His nature. Working in harmony with all of His other attributes, His omnipotence is a resounding comfort to us when we remember that nothing is impossible for Him and that nothing can prevent Him from achieving His good purpose.
God holds power over all things, governs all things, and by Him all things hold together (Colossians 1:16–17). And that power, that unshakeable grip on the cosmos, sustains us through every wind and wave that comes our way. God can do anything, and He does not act against His own character or nature: His goodness and holiness, His righteousness and love all participate in the exertion of His power. In time, we can begin to understand His omnipotence in light of His perfect will and all of His attributes.
