THE POWER OF GOD

God has authority, He has infinite power. What is authority without power? 

To create requires infinite power. All the world cannot make a fly. God's power in creating is evident.

A small reflection of the power of our Creator is seen in the thousands of stars shining in the night sky. Galaxies are millions of stars packed close together. And billions of galaxies fill the universe. The amount of power displayed in the heavens is overwhelming, if we take the time to look up at night and think about it. This reveals God's power and love at the cosmic level.

The power of God is not for the wicked. It is against them. The power of God is not for them. They have no union with God, therefore they have no warrant to lay claim to His power. His power is no relief to them. He has power to forgive sins, but He will not put forth His power towards an impernitent sinner. God's power is an eagle's wing, to carry the saints to heaven; but what privilege is that to the wicked? Though a man will carry his child in his arms over a dangerous stream, yet he will not carry an enemy. God's power is not engaged to help those that fight against him. Let miseries come upon the wicked, they have none to help them; they are like a ship in a storm without a pilot, and driven upon the rocks.

For a person to go on daringly in any sin is to harden his heart against God, and to raise a war against heaven. Let him remember God is Almighty; He will be too hard for them that oppose Him.
