The Boundless Power of God
As I watched the devastating tsunami ravage coastal communities, leaving destruction and despair in its wake, I was struck by the sheer force of nature. The waves, towering high above the shore, seemed unstoppable, claiming thousands of lives and reducing homes and businesses to rubble. Yet, in the midst of this chaos, I was reminded of God’s sovereignty over the oceans.
A God of Unfathomable Power
The Bible asks, “Who has measured the [earth’s] water in the hollow of his hand?” (Isaiah 40:12). This verse paints a vivid picture of a God who holds the vast expanse of the world’s oceans in the palm of His hand. The enormity of this concept is almost too great to comprehend. It’s a powerful reminder that our God is not limited by human constraints.
A Glimpse of God’s Greatness
I recall a personal experience that drove this point home. When my brother Frank was nearing the end of his life, he was comforted by a vision of a massive angel, thirteen stories high, who would care for his beloved wife, June. This angelic presence brought Frank peace, but it pales in comparison to the majesty of God. Imagine a hand that can cradle the entirety of the world’s oceans – it’s a truly awe-inspiring thought.
Fearlessness in the Face of Uncertainty
In times of uncertainty and fear, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s omnipotence. But Scripture reminds us that our God is near, and His power is limitless. When we acknowledge His sovereignty, we can live without fear, knowing that He is always present and in control.
Discovering a Deeper Relationship with God
For many years, I attended church and believed in God, but I didn’t truly understand the purpose of my existence – to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. It wasn’t until I yielded control of my life to Him that I experienced a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. I learned to pray, “Dear Father, I need You… I invite Christ to take His place on the throne of my life.” This simple prayer transformed my relationship with God, and it can do the same for you.
Embracing a Life of Purpose and Meaning
If you’re seeking a deeper connection with God, I encourage you to surrender your life to Him. Acknowledge your need for His guidance and forgiveness, and invite Christ to take His rightful place as Lord of your life. As you do, you’ll discover a sense of purpose and meaning that transcends human understanding.
