Through the Bible: 1 KingsSample

God of All Creation

And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. ….. And a man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is a god of the hills but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.  

1 Kings 20:23-28 (ESV)

God’s power is all around us.  His power is shown in many ways. Many people today don't want to believe in God and His Power.  Like the Syrians, they thought God is only the god of the hills and has no power in the valleys.  As believers, we must recognize His reign over every area of our lives, both our literal and metaphorical mountains and valleys. Then we can be assured that we are protected by the same power that created Heaven and raised Jesus from the dead. God’s promises are for all of us who believe and live according to His commandments.  

Prayer: 

Dear Lord, I thank You that I am under Your protection. I thank You that You are my security, my rock, and my refuge. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Clothe me with the power to do what You’ve made me to do. Lord, I surrender my life afresh to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
