Is He Worthy ~ Chris Tomlin
Many, O LORD my God, are Your
wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered. ~ Psalm 40:5 NKJV

I subscribe to a handful of devotionals. The premise of one,
is getting to know Jesus on a first-name basis, exploring the different names
of God. Today's name is "The Lord God Omnipotent." The devotional asked:
if God is All-Powerful (Omnipotent), what power do you need in your life,
today? (Prime Time with God Devotionals: www.churchgrowth.org, https://confirmsubscription.com/h/t/AFD515F44C43B7F8)
We all face hardships, whether relationships, finances,
health, etc. At times, our hardships are numerous, but we don't have to face
them alone. When David faced Goliath, Moses faced Pharaoh, Gideon faced the Midianites,
and when Nehemiah faced Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the
Ashdodites, they weren't alone. When you face your worst fears, your fiercest
enemies, or any kind of trial or hardship, you won't be alone, either. But like
David, Moses, Gideon, Nehemiah, and many others, your story isn't about facing opposition;
it's about God.
Psalm 44:1-3 says we're to share the victories God has
done in our lives, so that others—especially the next and future generations—will
know it wasn't by our might, knowledge, or finances that brought us the victory.
Rather it was His right hand, His arm, and the light of His
face, because He loves us.
What opposition are you facing? Turn your eyes from it
and gaze on the One who is the Victory-Giver. Be encouraged by the wonders He's
already done in your life, the thoughts He has toward you, and the victories
that are still ahead. Then, turning back to the opposition, declare: My God is
Worthy of Praise! By His strength, He will bring this victory!
