The All-Powerful God

Isa. 43:15 “I am the LORD, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King.”

In the verse above, the Lord re-introduce Himself again to His people and remind them once again of His character. He begins by reminding them that He is the great I AM! The self-existent, active, ever-present and the all-powerful God. Finally, He reminded them that He is the Creator of Israel. Israel, God’s people, didn’t come into being by accident. It was through the plan and purpose of the eternal God. So the Lord was saying to them in so many words “I created you. You are mine. Do you really think that I am going to forget you or let you go?” And finally, God reminds His people that he is the King with a capital ‘K’. Israel was in exile and suffering under the king of Babylon, but they were not to fear this earthly ‘king’. The real King was still overlooking all that occurred.

Maybe you have been feeling like the Israelites were? Maybe you have taken your eyes off the Lord and onto your situation? Maybe the difficulty of what you face has clouded out the thought and presence of He who is for you? Maybe you have forgotten that the one who is on your side is the eternal, all-powerful, ever-present God “who makes a way”? Israel sure had. And I had when God reminded me of this scripture. So maybe you have as well. Unfortunately, it is something that our nature finds all too easy to do.
