He is Mighty to Save
“Savior, He can move the mountains. My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to
save. Forever, Author of Salvation, He
rose and conquered the Grave.” I have
sung this chorus many of times, but it wasn’t until recently that God shed some
new light on it for me. God can move
mountains… have you ever really pondered that thought? Of course our all powerful God can do
whatever He pleases, but do you believe that?
I would like to encourage you to look for God through things that
interest you.
I have been fascinated by rainbows since I was a
child. It wasn’t until later in my life
that I knew that a rainbow is a reminder of His promises to us. Not so ironically, two days before I was
asked to write this devotional, God showed me the most amazing rainbow. This particular rainbow came at the most
perfect time for me and was one like I had never seen before. This rainbow was straight up and down, like it
was pointing up to heaven, but that was not the most amazing part of this
rainbow… it wasn’t raining! It was a
beautiful, blue sky, with a rainbow! He
certainly got my attention. This brings
me back to the thought of He can move mountains. For me, seeing a rainbow on a sunny, blue sky
day, meant that God was with me, through all that I was facing that day and
what is to come. I believe that if you
diligently look around, you will see God’s presence in your life. If you are going through a valley and think
He isn’t near, keep looking, He most definitely is! I have learned that He never leaves your
side, and you can have His peace, if you search for it… in Him.
In Psalm 103 David lists out many reasons we have
to praise God. He heals us from our diseases,
redeems us from the pit, crowns us with compassion, and he does not treat us as
our sins deserve. Our most powerful God,
the one who created all and raised Jesus from the dead, doesn’t just show us
His strength, but also his love, compassion, and peace. Today, I choose to Praise Him for these
things. I thank him for personally
speaking to me. I hope that you will
look for Him, sometimes in obvious places, sometimes not, know that He
genuinely loves you and watches over you as His child. Praise God!
