Day 21
Bible Text: Isaiah 9:6
“And he will be called: Mighty God.”
We all know powerful people - in business, government, military, even in entertainment, etc. But often we fear those people and what they might do, because we have seen how power often corrupts. We crave Someone strong and powerful who will protect us from the bullies. Humans let us down, but God never does.
The people in Jesus’ day recognized him as a “prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people” (Luke 24:19). And the only ones who feared Jesus were those who opposed him. He used his power to save the lost, heal the sick, raise the dead, forgive the sinner, defend the weak, etc. He is completely trustworthy and faithful. He will do what he did then for you today. As you place your life in his hands, you will experience his might in the most wonderful ways. His power to overcome your biggest bully, the evil one, will change your life. Will you let him?
And someday soon, when Jesus returns through the clouds, with a “loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God” (1 Thessalonians 4:16), all the world will see his might with our own eyes. Will you acknowledge Christ Jesus today as your mighty God?
Prayer: I acknowledge you, Jesus, as my mighty God. I come under your authority, and give you permission to lead me. I pray for the people of our nation, that more and more people would place their allegiance in You alone. Work through me to help accomplish this! In Jesus’ name.

Your words today are a true blessing. I look forward to the day when Our Lord returns. I believe somewhere in the Bible it was written that in our lives we will experience trouble...(I don't know the rest of the verse).
I know that all hope comes from the Lord. I saw this in one of my patients yesterday. She was a young girl with a muscle wasting disease. Her body was deteriorating but she was at peace with the Lord.
