The Power of God- Part III

Dr Ashwin Drummond22 March 20253 min read

God has infinite power. The human mind cannot comprehend. When King Hezekiah asked God for a sign that he would recover from his illness, God allowed Him, and he asked God to bring back the shadow of the sun. II Kings 20:9-11 “And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.” Time submitted to his Master. Ten degrees is approximately 40 minutes.

The Bible tells us that God’s power is unfathomable. In Jeremiah 32:17 it says, “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Nothing is too difficult for God to do and He can do anything. Whatever God wants to do, He has the power to do it. God’s power is so great that nothing can stand in His way or limit Him in any way. He can do anything He wants. In Job 42:2 it says, “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.” This scripture shows us that God’s power and plans cannot be stopped by anyone or anything. God’s power is infinite and can never be contained.

The Bible tells us that God uses his power to protect us in times of trouble and danger. In Psalm 46:1 it says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” God has the power to keep us safe from harm and He will always be there for us when we need Him. We do not need to fear. We do not need to worry. God is using His infinite power to protect us.

God’s power is unstoppable and incomparable. In Revelation 19:6 it says, “Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: ‘Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.” This shows us that no one can stand in God’s way and that His unending power will prevail. He reigns over all things. He is the King of Kings.

We get peace from God. We see His sovereignty in the ways He interacts with us. In John 14:27 it says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” God’s peace is unlike anything the world can offer. He is in control and His power and gives us comfort and security, no matter what we are facing.

God’s power is a source of hope, strength, and joy for us. In Isaiah 40:28-29 it says, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”
