WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode is: “Beauty of God’s Power”

God is all-powerful. He spoke the world into existence. He worked out all the complicated physics and created atoms, protons, electrons and neutrons. He gave things balance and allowed birds to defy gravity and fly. While he was working out the complicated science of the universe, he cared enough to make it beautiful.

The sunrise in the morning, the sunset at night, a meadow strewn with wildflowers of all colors and shapes. Don’t even get me started on the beach. It is amazing to stand on the water’s edge and see nothing but water for as far as our eyes can see. But he gave the ocean boundaries and told the waves how far they could cover the sand of shore. The way he paints the sky each night and morning should be enough proof that there is a God. Because only God could create something so beautiful.

He separated day from night and gave us billions of stars to look at twinkling down on us. He took the darkness and declared let there be light. The darkness disappeared and light bounced off of everything. Showing God’s handiwork. But he wasn’t satisfied with just the earth and the animals that he created uniquely.

He created mankind and gave him the ability to create art, music, poetry, and stories. It is in this creative process that I often feel the closest to God. To me, creating and painting is almost an act of worship.

No human will ever be able to create beauty like God. But there is a peaceful solace in being able to paint our version of God’s beauty.

In his written word, we find a lot of beauty. Normally, each beautiful, moving thing is accompanied by something painful. Look at the beauty of Jesus’s sacrifice. That is the single most selfless, passionate, loving thing that could be done for you and me.

Accompanied by the fact that he freely laid down his life for us. Was the fact that he knew what he would suffer. He knew the prophecies; he knew how the Romans brutalized those they punished. They would go above and beyond the normal punishment for Jesus. He freely chose to do it anyway.

There is such beauty in his selfless love for us. He cared enough about mankind that he was willing to die for us.

There is beauty in the power of the cross. Jesus gave us power to overcome our obstacles. He gave us power to become the sons of God. The power we have within us goes beyond anything we can imagine. But we limit God with our words and our lack of faith at times.

If we could truly realize that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within us. We have power in the name of Jesus. We are free from bondage because of that beauty of God’s power. He made a way, when we didn’t deserve a way. He gave us freedom when we deserved punishment.

Our sins separated us from God. He desired a relationship with us so much that he came, bled and died to set us free. How is it that we cannot pray for more than five minutes? How is it that we find it hard to work him into our schedules? He asked so little in return for what he gave to us.

We have the power to stand up and overcome whatever we face. It is like having electricity to your house. It is turned on, but the breaker box is shut off. All it takes to access the power is to flip the switch.

We need to get serious about our faith walk. It is time we flip the switch and access the power of God that is within us. We cannot overcome the enemy if we do not walk in the power of victory that is given us through Christ.

Rev 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

He takes the ashes of our broken lives and gives us beauty in all forms, from the sunrises to peace in our soul.

Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

God’s beauty shines in our lives as we go forth shining the light He has given us. Just as the stars twinkle at night and the sun shines each day. He gives us light to go into people’s darkness and give them hope. That is the beauty of God’s power. When he gave us power to become the son’s of God. He poured into us the ability to go forth and help people out of their darkness. To show them the freedom we have in Jesus Christ.

The crucifixion was not a pretty sight to behold. I cannot even imagine how those who witnessed it felt. But the work of the cross is the greatest act of love ever witnessed.

I Cor 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

We have to share Jesus to the world, where they are in their hurt and pain. Many will not come looking for Him because they do not know they need Him. The preaching of the cross and redemption means nothing to them. Until we show them his beautiful light. The light that is the beauty of God’s power.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
