One of the daily habits I am trying to form is to continually remind myself of how great God's power is.
Sometimes we can get so focused on our problems, trials, circumstances and situations, that it is easy to forget that God is omnipotent. He is all powerful.
Tim Keller (the author and pastor in New York City) once wrote that in 1970, a Sunday school teacher changed his life with a simple illustration.
The teacher said, "Let's assume the distance between the earth and the sun (92 million miles) was reduced to the thickness of this sheet of paper. If that is the case, then the distance between the earth and the nearest star would be a stack of papers 70 feet high. And the diameter of the galaxy would be a stack of papers 310 miles high."
Then Keller's teacher added, "The galaxy is just a speck of dust in the universe, yet Jesus holds the universe together by the word of his power."
Finally, the teacher asked her students, "Now, is this the kind of person you ask into your life to be your assistant?"
As we sing in our worship services, "How Great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God."
I encourage you today to focus on his power - and not your problems.
Let me leave you with this comparison: If God created and formed the universe - don't you think it can take care of the situation you are in right now?
Just a thought for a Tuesday.
