Our Omnipotent God
Today's Devotional By: Dr. David Jeremiah
Today's Devotional Scriptures:
Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. Revelation 19:6-7
Whom would you call for financial advice? What if one of your children was struggling during adolescence? How about a crisis more critical in a practical way, like a car or household appliance repair? We all need help at different times in life and are blessed if we have someone we can turn to.
How about this situation: You’re in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee when a major storm suddenly threatens to sink the ship. The disciples of Jesus, in that exact situation, thought of Jesus. They found Him asleep in the back of the boat. But He rose to the occasion and stilled the storm (Matthew 8:23-27). If there was one person you could turn to, regardless of the situation, it would probably be Jesus. Is there any situation in which He could not help? At the end of the age, when life on earth is at its darkest, Jesus will return and restore peace (Revelation 19).
In your darkest moments, think first of Jesus and turn to Him in prayer.
We must take God’s word even in the dark. Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Recommended Reading: Matthew 8:23-27 - (WIND AND WAVE OBEY JESUS) 23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” 26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
