Read Daniel chapter 7 VERSE: Daniel 7:14–He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. TRUTH: Jesus Christ is the One who is referenced in these verses and we can rest confidently knowing that He is the One who has been given all authority and power. His kingdom will never be destroyed. As we continue to be obedient to God, we can trust that He will do everything that He has said He will do. We can also trust that He…

Read Romans chapter 15 VERSE: Romans 15:13–May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. TRUTH: Hope, true hope, only comes from God. Only through Him can we truly find something to hope in. As we look at our lives, will we understand that only through Jesus can we truly experience joy, peace, and hope. What’s more, our hope isn’t just for ourselves, we are to overflow with hope so that others may be impacted by what they see in us and find themselves turning to the source…

Read 2 Kings chapter 2 VERSE: 2 Kings 2:15–The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him. TRUTH: The great prophet of God, Elijah, has just been taken up to heaven in a whirlwind of fire. Elisha has asked for God to give him the spirit of Elijah, or essentially the same favor and power that Elijah received from God. God grants that request and when Elisha comes back, the group of prophets can tell. They see the power that was in Elijah now resting on Elisha.…

Read Zephaniah chapter 1 VERSE: Zephaniah 1:2–“I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord. TRUTH: As we turn to another book of prophecy, we see very quickly the totality of the power of God. He starts out by declaring that he is going to be bringing judgment on the entire earth. What I find so amazing here is that He is able to do that. We see the overwhelming power of the God of the universe. He’s not just some being that we worship that is “out there” somewhere. He is here and involved and knows what is going on in the world. Plus,…

Read James chapter 5 VERSE: James 5:6–You have condemned and murdered the innocent one who was not opposing you. TRUTH: As James finishes his section condemning the rich people who were oppressing others, he reminds the people that this is what they have been doing. When people have money, they often have power as well and frequently they will use those things as a way to impose their will on others around them. In this case, the people were doling out unjust judgments to the poor. Whether we are rich or not, we each have a measure of power and authority that we have in relation to someone or something.…

Read Mark chapter 1 VERSE: Mark 1:22–The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. TRUTH: When Jesus spoke, people listened. They may not have liked what He was saying, but no one could argue that He had authority and spoke with power. The people weren’t used to seeing that and the authority and power of Jesus drew people to Him.We do not have power or authority on our own. Our only power and authority comes from Jesus Christ and through Him. Are we surrendered to Him each and every day, for unless we are working…

Read Psalm chapter 74 VERSE: Psalm 74:16–The day is yours and your also the night; you established the sun and moon. TRUTH: God is the Creator od all things and that includes time and all that time contains. The day and the night, both are creations of God. Because He established them, He also controls them and the things that occur during them. Do we give God praise and are we in awe of all the power He has? RESPONSE: Father, You determine the path of every single day and night. You created them, You control them, and they are Yours. I will praise You for Your power and control…

Since we just completed Book 2 in Psalms, we’re going to take another quick break and go through Ephesians for the next 6 days before we continue on with Psalms. Read Ephesians chapter 1 VERSE: Ephesians 1:19-20–and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. TRUTH: God’s power is the same today as it was when He raised Christ from the dead. He has all power and we must remember all that God has done in us and through us. He…

Read Romans chapter 4 VERSE: Romans 4:21–being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. TRUTH: Abraham had received a promise from God, yet when he looked around at his life, he couldn’t see any natural way for that promise to be fulfilled. Still, Abraham believed and was fully convinced that God was powerful enough to keep His promise. Do we completely believe that God will keep His promises to us, even when we can’t see how? Abraham had faith in God, do we have the same faith in God? RESPONSE: Father, I can’t see the “how” sometimes, yet I know that You have promised to…

VERSE: Jeremiah 51:15–He made the earth by His power, He formed the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. TRUTH: God is all-powerful. His power is what enabled Him to create the earth and everything we see. His wisdom and understanding are unmatched and no matter what happens, He understands it and is in control of it. RESPONSE: Father, You are in control. That is the truth what I feel that or not. I will trust in Your power, wisdom, and understanding.
