Thirty Days of Thanksgiving: Day 17 - The Power of God

"For by Him all things were created,
both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--

all things have been created through Him and for Him."

                                               Colossians 1:16

We have been experiencing a series of storms here in the Pacific Northwest; over the last few days we have had heavy rain and strong winds which has knocked out the power to our home three or four times. This morning I am thankful that the worst of the storm has passed and our power supply to our home has been restored.

We rely so heavily on electricity to power our lives; to provide light and warmth, to enable us to cook meals, brew coffee, watch TV and use our computers. That source of power is so vulnerable and when it's taken from us we are left scurrying for flashlights, candles and warm blankets. The power of God is not like the electrical power supply to our homes and businesses, and for that I am so thankful.

The power of God is beyond our comprehension and able to withstand any storm; even if we lose faith in that power it is still there. His power is sufficient to create and sustain all things, both seen and unseen. God wants us to rely on His power for our lives, we won't be disappointed or left in the dark!

Giving thanks for the power of God!
