“His Mighty Power,”

THE eternal power and Godhead of the Creator are seen in the things of nature, and at times this power is manifested in a way that humbles the pride of men by a revelation of the utter impotence of human power before it. No human mind can measure the vastness of the power which moves the solid earth as though it were water, and in a moment completely changes the whole appearance of its surface. Yet all this power is but a small fraction of that constantly exercised by the infinite Being who guides the worlds in their courses and upholds all things by his word. This power speaks wrath and consternation to the wicked, but how different its significance to the righteous! To the believer the mighty power of God is “his glorious power,” the power to save from sin, the power to give a new and perfect life, the power to obey the divine law. God would have his children know “what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” The exhibition of the mighty power of God, in whatever way, is to the believer only an additional reason for trust in him. In that day, soon to come, when God’s power is shown as never before in judgments against sin, when the whole earth reels to and fro, and the wicked call for rocks and mountains to fall upon and hide them from him with whom they are being brought face to face, all this power will speak to the righteous of salvation. “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.”
