We tend to forget just how powerful God is. Oh, we know in our heads He is almighty, but our hearts inevitably fill with worry and distractions to the point that we forget how amazing the God is that we serve. One would think that it would be impossible to witness God part the Red Sea, then lead you across on dry land, then destroy the Egyptian army ruthlessly pursuing you, and not grow to believe that nothing was impossible for God. But the Israelites continually forgot the divine activity they had previously experienced. The next challenge they faced, they behaved as if God had never acted on their behalf before.
There are many divine attributes that can easily be forgotten: His love, joy, faithfulness, and holiness. But how could we forget His power? All we have to do is to look at the stars at night. A brief reflection on how God has intervened on our behalf previously ought to be sufficient to convince us that, with God, all things are possible. Yet we forget. Just like the Israelites.
Take time today to remember times when God answered your prayer, or when He demonstrated His awesome power in your life. Had you forgotten some of those moments? Are you presently living like someone who is absolutely convinced of God’s infinite power?
