God Has The Power

...Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.  Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

1 Chronicles 29:11b-12

Make no mistake about it; all power resides within the hands of the man above… Jesus was mocked, beaten, and whipped; He was nailed to a cross and pierced in His side… The Bible says that when He gave up the ghost He hung His head and died, but we know that three days later he rose with all power in His hand… Matthew 28:18-20 says, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” We know that we do not have the ability unless it is provided to us through the grace and mercy of God… 

When Paul was afflicted with a thorn in the flesh he is recorded as saying that “three times” he prayed for it to be removed but God told him, “My grace is sufficient…” These verses taken from the book of Chronicles remind us that we must have our priorities set in life; we must exalt the Lord above the earth as the head and center of our being… We must give God glory for every good and perfect gift comes from above… Even when we are faced with times of despair, the writer reminds us that “thou reignest over all and in thine hand is power and might…” When you submit to God, He will deliver you and see that you have victory… Remember that situations aren’t always what we see, but rather what God sees, so just walk by faith knowing and believing you will be exalted as you exalt Him and understand that God has given you the power and might to overcome… Just as Jesus endured the CROSS to sit at the right hand, we will endure to reach OUR heavenly goals, keep fighting, but more importantly, keep praising and adoring His name!!!!!

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
