Now that's power!

¹⁸I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, ²⁰which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. ²²And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, ²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:18-23)
I just want to remind everyone that our God is powerful. We see here that our God demonstrated a power that the world had never seen and won't ever see again. Our God raised Jesus from the dead, to put it in better terms HE CONQUERED DEATH!!! It wasn't like if your heart stopped and it was shocked back into rythm, this is Mighty Strength(verse 19). Christ was dead for three days and then God brought him back because he has the power over death.
So you might be wondering why I'm telling you something that you already know it's because we might be going through some difficult things right now and we might be consumed with hurt and other emotions that we forget that our God is sooooooooo powerful. If he can conquer death, then I guarantee that he can take on whatever your going through. I'm not trying to down play our current struggles but we need to stop and remember just exactly who is control and how powerful he is.
So my prayer for us today is that we do recognize how great and powerful our God is. I pray that we would be conforted by knowing that we serve a God who's power is so great and mighty that we do not have the words to describe it. I pray that we would have the strength and confidence to give God all our problems, stresses, and concerns and let him be God!
