God's Power

Thunderstorms always remind me of God's might and power. When I hear one I take a moment to reflect on how amazing God is and all that He accomplished for us. I also find myself singing the song "Amazing Grace." He is so mighty and strong and powerful, he doesnt even need us yet he choose to make us in his very own image and even when we turned away from us he still love us and sent us his only son to die for us. He could have been done with us, could have wiped us all out. Istead of saving Noah and his family in the great flood, God could have just wiped out the whole of the human race. Yet he did not. To me, that is amazing. We do not deserve anything he has done for us, yet he gives anyways. Jesus (God's son) died the worst death on a cross when he was absolutly blameless from anything. 2 Corinthians 13:4 says it the best. "For he [Jesus] was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. for we are also weak in him, but in dealing with you we live by him in the power of God." How amazing to think of, because of that death that he died he took all of our weaknesses to the cross with him and by raising from the dead with God's power it gave us a hope that we may live forever in the power of God through Christ.
