Omnipotent

Greetings!!!

Have you ever thought about God being omnipotent? This particular word is only mentioned one time in the King James Bible in Revelation 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 many thunderings, saying, Allelujah: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." The New World Dictionary of American English defines omnipotent as "having unlimited power or authority; all-powerful. The same Greek word for omnipotent is translated elsewhere as almighty. Although omnipotent is used only one time in the King James Version of the Bible, Almighty, in reference to God, is mentioned fifty-six times.

Two of my favorite verses that speak of God Almighty are found in Revelation 4:8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, is THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, who was and who is and who is to come." And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "Worthy art Thou, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; For Thou didst create all things, and because of Thy will they existed, and were created."

And in Isaiah 6:1-3 In the year that King Usiah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above Him were seriphs, each with six wings: With two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: " Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD Almighty, the whole earth is full of His glory." 

What comes to mind when you think of all-powerful? There are a lot of things I can think of that are powerful... the wind, a storm, a team of horses, a train, a bodybuilder, and many other things, but when I think of all-powerful, the only thing that comes to mind is God. It is amazing to me that the angels declare that the whole earth is full of His glory. How often do you look the glory of God in the face and ignore it, get annoyed by it, or never even see it? God has left traces of His glory everywhere to be seen by everyone. Have you looked for it lately? It cannot be hard to find. The angels declare that the "whole earth is full of His glory." You just need to take the time to look. So what are you waiting for? Start looking!!

The LORD bless you with experiencing His glory everywhere.

I love you,
