What is the most powerful thing in the world? 

Well, think of every power you can imagine on the planet— every bicep, every engine, every volcano... Now add that blazing fireball overhead that we call the sun. Combine every source of power that you can possibly imagine, and guess what, it ain’t nothin’. All the powers you can imagine, combined, aren’t even a drop in the ocean of God's power!

Have you heard of the Big Bang—when the universe exploded into existence maybe a gazillion years ago and it’s still flying out at the speed of a bullet? Well, that was just God, speaking a word—whoa!

The Bible reminds us of who this God is…

Book

“ I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless.” 

Genesis 17:1b (NIRV)

Look

How does God describe Himself?

That’s right—Almighty.

God is Almighty, or infinite in countless ways. Of course, we can’t look at all the ways, but take a look at three:

Omnipresent (All-present)

He is everywhere.

That doesn’t mean that everything is God or a piece of God. God is separate from His creation. Omnipresent means that no matter where you go, He will always be there. In fact, He is right here, right now, with you.

Omniscient (All-knowing)

He has always known everything completely (and He never even had to go to school! Envious?). Did you know that everybody loses and/or gains up to 100 hairs per day. But God knows today how many hairs are on your head. Do you? Omniscient means that God knows you even better than you know yourself! He knows everything.

Omnipotent (All-powerful)

All power is all power. God is the awesome and majestic Designer, Creator, and Master, of everything! No-thing is hard for Him because He is over all things.

Does this all sound a bit scary? God is everywhere, God knows everything, God has all power…but fortunately it helps if you add one more detail: God is wonderful—He is totally good and loves you!

Now take a minute and answer these two questions…

When you need help, where should you go first? Why?

What kind of life can you live, since you belong to God?

BTW, you ROCK!
