POWERFUL GOD

NUMBERS 14:17 (NLT)
Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed.

LUKE 1:49 (NLT)
For the Mighty One is holy,
and he has done great things for me.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is powerful and we're on the same team.  

DAILY FODDER
Why do we sell God short when it comes to his power? Don't we really believe him? Or are we somehow blind to seeing his power at work around us?

PRAYER
Mighty God, you have power beyond what any superhero wield. And on top of that you're  real! I confess that I'm blind to your work in the world — even in things that directly involve me. Open my eyes so that I can catch at least a glimpse of your power and your work on our behalf. I'm determined to become a modern day witness of the great things you're doing.  Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
