Day of Praise

Fr, Nov 16 "Day of Praise"

When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. - John 18:6

In today's verse, the soldiers and others armed with weapons who came to arrest unarmed Jesus, they fell to the ground when he spoke because they inherently knew the might that was before them in Jesus. And it was almighty might.

And still is today.

As believers, we know that, though God in Jesus Christ does indeed have power that is rightly honored and worshiped and revered, God has shown us in Jesus that he uses all His might for you.

To overcome our sin. To overcome our fears. To overcome our infirmities. To overcome our doubts. To overcome all that would steal, kill, and destroy our heart (John 10:10).

Friends, almighty Jesus, Son of God, is here, and he's for you!

Thus the saying, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). And "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn" (Isaiah 54:17).

God is for you. And we know this in Jesus Christ!

So get out there, and have a great day with Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. For he to whom all will bow down, yes, he has shown in his being and his death on the cross that he is totally for you!

Honor and trust him, and you'll see.

Praise God!!
