GOD ALMIGHTY

We call Him God Almighty; but what is it we mean? We need this understanding to describe Who is unseen. It’s more than the ability to do what He will do. It’s infinite capacity for all that right and true. The Bible tells us “God is Love”. We know this for a fact. But He has other qualities which mean that He will act, Not only out of “mushiness” we think is nice and true. But tempered by those “qualities” defining what He’ll do. We know His love is infinite. His power is the same. His mercy and His justice don’t fit into our frame. He doesn’t have just little bits; He has all endlessly, The attributes which we ascribe to perfect Deity. For God does not have mercy. He’s mercy through and through. We know that He is mercy in all that He will do. All His many qualities reach to eternity. His justice and His mercy meet there at Infinity! Perhaps the way to put it is to say, He is ”I AM”. I’m Love; I’m Joy, I’m everything; the Lion and the Lamb. I do not have these qualities, these qualities are Me. Regardless of your need today, “I’m all you need to see”. We think it is impossible. How can God be so great? But there’s no limitation; no force can make Him wait. His power can cleanse the leper and cause the blind to see. And changing water into wine; He does it instantly. The Everlasting Father; the Mighty Prince of Peace. Our God created everything; He can make all things cease. He has all the authority in heaven, sea or land. There’s no one who can question Him or give Him a command. He’s infinitely capable. No force can tell Him “Nay”! Whatever He decides to do is done without delay. He’s not intimidated by armies which are vast. He only needs to wink an eye and with one mighty blast, Those forces will all disappear. For God all on His own, Is greater than the universe, or everything that’s known. Our horses, they are nothing; Our chariots are vain; No one can overcome Him; no power can ever tame, Our Wonderful Creator, our Saviour, Lord and King. For when it comes right down to it, He can do anything. Jim Strickland – written Thursday, 06 October 2011
