Have you had your JOY JUICE today? ”O, taste and see that the Lord is
good.”
There
are several words that begin with the letter “O” that have caught my attention
lately. One is “omnipresent”…referring
to God. He is everywhere.
Today
let’s look at the word “omnipotent”.
Revelation 19:6 of the King James Version uses this very word: “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent
reigns!” The Greek word translated as “Omnipotent” here means
“All-ruling” or “Almighty.” When we say God is “Almighty,” we are stating our
belief in His authority and rulership over all creation; the Bible is firm in
declaring this fact.
The NIV
version of the same verse says it like this: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God
Almighty reigns!” The following
verse says: “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!”
When we have
the assurance that God is reigning over our lives, we can relax and rest in His
love! Nothing that comes our way has not
first gone before God. And though He may
not remove a tough situation from our lives, He WILL be with us through the
difficult times and make us stronger for having gone through it. We may not be happy in our circumstances, but
we can have the JOY of the Lord which gives us strength!
Let’s thank the Lord for His omnipotence and rest in
the JOY that comes from our Almighty God.
