God is All Powerful
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
Anyone tired? …tired physically, mentally, tired of waiting for circumstances to change… When life is tough, we can become so worn out that we are immobilized. Where do you turn? Modern medicine offers solutions; bad habits can keep us propped up for only so long.
Look up and lean on our eternal God. This is where you can be re-energized and restored. Exchange your ways for God’s ways. God’s promise for everlasting life through his son Jesus Christ offers peace and hope. It isn’t in the what and when of our circumstances, but rather in the who. Who is the focus of your life?
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. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:28-31
Because God is all powerful, we can rely on the Lord’s strength.

Out of Control
God is All Powerful
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
We are taught to be in control -- to take control of our lives and our circumstances. Covid, lockdowns, rioting, unrest, and uncertainty in our economy do not align with dreams of an abundant life…. But what an eye opener when we understand who really is in control – an all powerful God who has the whole world in His hands! And with this revelation comes hope and a sense of freedom. We don’t have to fix everything. We can trust God, who is good and who has a plan for us.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Because God is all powerful, we can trust that He is in control of all the circumstances in our life.
