“Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! For he spoke, and it came to be”.
God’s word is so powerful, by it the world was created. That same word has also given us a hope that is as real as the existence of the world. God’s “divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises” (2Pet1:3-4).
God has given us so much that we can’t really comprehend it, and asks for so little in return. I find that to be a very comforting idea. “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name”
