Rev 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Believer! what can better support and sustain you amid
the trials of your pilgrimage, than the thought that you have an Omnipotent
arm to lean upon?
The God with whom you have to do is boundless in His
resources!
There is no crossing His designs no thwarting His
purposes no questioning His counsels.
His mandate is law! "He
speaks and it is done!"
Your need is great.
From the humblest crumb of
providential goodness, up to the richest blessing of Divine grace you are
hanging from moment to moment, as a poor pensioner on Jehovah's bounty!
But,
fear not! "I am the Almighty God!" Finite necessities can never exhaust My
infinite fullness!
My God will supply all your needs according to His
glorious riches in Christ Jesus!
To You, O blessed Jesus! all power has been committed in Heaven and in earth.
ALL power! He has in His hands the reigns of universal empire!
To You, O blessed Jesus! all power has been committed in Heaven and in earth.
ALL power! He has in His hands the reigns of universal empire!
To "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" has been
entrusted the seven-sealed scroll of Providence.
Whatever is the blessing
which the poorest, weakest, loneliest, most afflicted of His saints require-if it is really for their good-the Wonderful Counselor secures it.
As
a Prince, He has power with God, and must prevail.
He combines in His adorable Person, all that a sinner
requires: a Heart tender enough to love; and a Hand strong enough to save.
The Elder Brother! the "Mighty God!"
How He delights in the exercise of His
omnipotence in behalf of His own people-in ruling over their interests,
and overruling their trials for their eternal good!
When He prays for
Himself, it is "Not My will."
When He prays for them, it
is, "Father, I will!"
I may well take the motto which He still
bears on His breastplate before the Throne, as the ground of support and
encouragement in all time of tribulation, able to save to the uttermost!
My enemies are many - their name is Legion:
Satan, the great adversary; heart traitors- bosom sins; the world, and the world's trinity: the lusts of the flesh, and the
lusts of the eye, and the pride of life!
But He who is for me, is greater far than all that
can be against me.
He is "stronger" than the "strong man."
Christ
the Power of God. "I, who speak in righteousness, am mighty to save!"
Believer, are you in trial, beaten down with a great
fight of afflictions like the disciples, out in a midnight of storm,
buffeting a sea of trouble?
Fear not! When the tempest has done its
work, when the trial has fulfilled its mission the voice which
hushed the waters of old, has only to give forth the omnipotent mandate,
"Peace, be still!"
And immediately there will be a great calm!
The "all
power" of Jesus! what a pillow on which to rest my aching head; disarming
all my fears, and inducing thoughts of sweetest comfort, consolation, and
joy!
Psa 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
~John Macduff~
