Powerful

You, Lord, are the God our ancestors worshiped, and from heaven you rule every nation in the world. You are so powerful that no one can defeat you. ~ 2 Chronicles 20:6 (CEV)

I pray that Christ Jesus and the church will forever bring praise to God. His power at work in us can do far more than we dare ask or imagine. Amen. ~ Ephesians 3:20-21 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
Trust in what God is doing because his power is greater than anyone or anything that we can imagine.
PRAYER:
You God, are good and powerful -- more so than we an possibly realize. I have that idea down. Yet, the thing which troubles me is that I still live as though you are basically powerless. I wring my hands when I see injustice or the political games of our leaders. I allow it all to drag me down -- a defeated, hopeless, nonbeliever. Refresh my awareness of your power at work through Christ Jesus so that I can join all the believers who have gone before us in their glorious worship. Amen.
