The Amazing Display of God’s Power!
“Bless the LORD, O my soul!
(The Psalms 104: 1-2 NASB)
O LORD my God, You are very great;
[Almighty God!]
You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
Covering Yourself with light as with a cloak,
Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.”
In studying this morning, I attempted to study about the way the devil seeks to have power over the saints of God & the reassurance that without God’s permission—Satan has no power to touch us!
AMAZING!
For the last four days, I have stood in amazement at the revelation of God’s Amazing Power!
This is what I am being led to write this morning because, in actuality, I cannot help but write these words.
“He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;
(The Psalms 104: 3-4 NASB)
He makes the clouds His chariot;
[Almighty God does!]
He walks upon the wings of the wind;
[Almighty God does!]
He makes the winds His messengers,
[Almighty God does!]
Flaming fire His ministers.”
- The Great Lake Michigan on my left side.
- The Great Lake Huron on my right.
- The Great Lake Superior to my front.
All three displaying how the LORD places boundaries, controlling the waters of the earth.
The Amazing Display of God’s Power!
“He established the earth upon its foundations,
(The Psalms 104: 5-9 NASB)
So that it will not totter forever and ever.
You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
At Your rebuke they fled,
[Almighty God did that!]
At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
The mountains rose;
the valleys sank down
To the place which You established for them.
You set a boundary that they may not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.”
[Almighty God did that!]
- The Devil’s Comet glimmering across Lake Michigan with magnificent light.
- The Totality of a Solar Eclipse as the LORD causes the moon to pass before the whole of the sun.
I cannot hardly describe the magnitude of what I felt as I stood in the total darkness of a spring day that was minutes before sun-filled.
The Amazing Display of God’s Power!
Astronomers say there are over 300 moons in our solar system, and God sets the moon nearest to us here on earth.
God creates that moon the perfect size and distance to match the size of the sun—creating a Solar Eclipse in totality!
The Amazing Power of God on Display!
Even though the sun is so much larger than the moon and even though the sun is so much farther away than the moon (from us on earth)—still God displays His handiwork!
- It was perfect!
- It was majestic!
Awesome. Amazing. Outstanding. Jubilant. Utterly Mind-Blowing!
Was it a coincidence or happenstance.
NO.
MOST DEFINITELY, IT WAS NOT!
IT WAS MOST ASSUREDLY THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD ON DISPLAY!
THE AMAZING DISPLAY SPOKE A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF BEAUTY & WONDER—AS WE STOOD BELOW TOTALLY OVERWHELMED BY GOD’S POWER!
Thank You, LORD, for reminding us of our smallness as we watched YOUR GREATNESS PASS BEFORE OUR EYES!
“The high mountains are for the wild goats;
(The Psalms 104: 18-24 NASB)
The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.
He made the moon for the seasons;
The sun knows the place of its setting.
You appoint darkness and it becomes night,
[Almighty God did that!]
In which all the beasts of the forest prowl about.
The young lions roar after their prey
And seek their food from God.
When the sun rises they withdraw
And lie down in their dens.
Man goes forth to his work
And to his labor until evening.
O LORD, how many are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your possessions.”
[even little ole’me!]
