Hello Everyone,

God uses His limitless resources to bring strength and peace to those who serve Him.

The same strength that snapped the cedars of Lebanon is available to strengthen God’s people (verse 11).

The cedars of Lebanon are massive. They can reach a height of 85 feet and their circumference can measure as much as 40 feet.

God breaks the cedars of Lebanon simply with His voice.

How much more, then, will the power of God be displayed in His caring for His people?

Throughout the Bible and in life, we see God’s power at work.

God brought the Children of Israel into the Promised Land.

God sent His Son to die in our place and exercised His power by raising Christ from the dead.

God’s power is expressed each time someone is born again.

God’s power is demonstrated in our everyday lives.

His grace and power are greater than our needs.

God gives His people peace (verse 11).

There is a great sense of well-being, wholeness, and security that comes from serving the Lord.

He makes our lives complete.

We have absolute confidence that our eternal King will never be dethroned.

Life is good in God’s kingdom – a life of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

No one else comes close to bringing us the kind of peace and sense of wholeness that Christ brings.

What should we do in response to this text?

We need to come before Him with reverence, awe, and a posture of worship.

We need to worship the Lord, and ascribe to Him glory and strength,

Worshiping Him in the beauty of His holiness.

We need to look to Him with absolute confidence … our God is King and Lord of all.

We need to also expect God to work in our lives and bring peace and wholeness.

Oh How HE Loves Us!

Pastor Phil
