The Power of Creation—Part 2

When you trust God you trust an almighty creator, who is able to help you, no matter how difficult your circumstances.  It will also be of great help to you to consider the providence of God.  Providence is but creation continued.  The same power that made all things maintains all things.  This is a great comfort and relief to the soul, because it shows us that God forever remains the same.  As the Lord continually upholds and governs His universe by His almighty power, so He continually works in the hearts of believers to accomplish His purposes.

We should also often recall specific, past instances of God’s grace and power in our lives.  This will give strong assurance to our faith.  In Ephesians 3:20, Paul asserts that God’s power at work in the hearts of believers is far beyond our comprehension.  He doesn’t speak of the power which made the world, or raised Christ, or produced the miracles recorded in Scripture.  He directs our attention to the divine “power at work within us.”  This is truly breathtaking!  More tomorrow.
