Creator’s Power

 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear; what can man do to me?”  – Hebrews 13:6

Astronaut Charles Duke was the youngest person to walk on the moon. In 1972, Duke and John Young explored the moon’s surface during Apollo 16’s mission to the Descartes region. They collected more than 200 pounds of rock and soil samples. On his last day there, Duke left a photo of his family. Reflecting on his experience he said, “The moon was awesome, exciting and adventurous. It was … the most beautiful desert.”

Yet later, at a 1996 Texas prayer rally, Duke said: “I used to say I could live ten thousand years and never have an experience as thrilling as walking on the moon. But the excitement and satisfaction of that walk doesn’t begin to compare with my walk with Jesus, a walk that lasts forever.”

Psalm 33:8 says, “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.” The Creator of the universe has more power than all the forces of nature. The combined energy of earth’s storms, winds, ocean waves and other natural forces do not equal a fraction of His omnipotence. In the face of His power, mere humans look very small and that is the way He intends it.

God wants to give you confidence that He is able to meet every need you have. So whatever trials you face, remember to boldly walk knowing that the Lord is your Protector and Friend. Pray that America’s leaders do the same as they put their confidence in Him for their personal and public decisions.
