When we think of God’s power, we often envision an omnipotent creator shaping the universe with abundant resources. However, consider an exciting thought from Romans 4:17.
Romans 4:17
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
God creates life and possibilities from sheer nothingness, showcasing His limitless power. While we typically rely on tangible resources, God is so powerful that He can transform emptiness into abundance.
Throughout scripture, He demonstrates His sovereignty over impossible situations, like parting the Red Sea…
Exodus 14:16
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
…and providing water from a rock.
Numbers 20:11
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
These stories remind us that nothing is too hard for God.
When we face overwhelming challenges, we can find hope in knowing that God can create from nothing. In a world focused on visible outcomes, remember that God thrives in the void and can do anything with absolutely nothing.
