Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus this prayer: “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe in Him.” Ephesians 1:19.
In considering this verse, I decided to pursue the word power. So to that end, I Googled this phrase: “What is the most powerful thing in the world.” I was curious to find out what would pop up on my computer screen. I thought it might be the power of the atom. We are all aware of the incredible force of atomic power. I thought people might say love. But it wasn’t love either. The answer that seemed to be the most prevalent surprised me—the human mind. Bloggers and scientists have apparently concluded that it is the human mind which possesses the most power. How sad. If the human mind is most powerful thing in the universe, we are in very sad shape indeed.
But thankfully, that is not the correct answer. God, the creator of the universe, the creator of the atom, the creator of love, and the creator of the human mind, is all powerful. He raised Jesus Christ from the dead, made the blind man see, stopped the sun in the sky—stopped time—so that Israel could win the battle. We serve a God of great power. Nothing is too difficult for Him.
