O God, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven above and ruler of all kingdoms below? You hold all power and might in your fist—no one stands a chance against you!
LUKE 4:29-30 (NLT)
Jumping up, they mobbed him and forced him to the edge of the hill on which the town was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, but he passed right through the crowd and went on his way.
THE ESSENCE
Ultimately, no one can maintain opposition to God.
DAILY FODDER
Why would anyone WANT to position himself against God?
PRAYER
Mighty God, no one can withstand you. I've been to the edge of the cliff, about to fall, and you have brought me back. In my weakness, you give me power. When I don' see a way, you make one. Alone, I am nothing. Strengthen me in adversity. Make me bold—all of you, none of me. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)

with what is happening in heaven.
