for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm.
Joshua 4:24
so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
1 Kings 8:41
(for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm)
Deuteronomy 3:24
‘O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours
Psalms 8914
You have a mighty arm;
strong is your hand, high your right hand.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
who exult in your name all the day
and in your righteousness are exalted.
For you are the glory of their strength
Isaiah 52:10
The Lord has bared his holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God
I am so encouraged by reading this today. God’s mighty arm, His mighty hand, and His strength. This chapter of Joshua we have seen how in God’s power He stopped the Jordan River so the people could cross over. After this feat it is recorded that all people should know how mighty God is. This same God of old – is our God, who never changes, and His promises never fail. I love the verses from Deuteronomy and Psalms that speak of His mighty hand and am reminded of Paul speaking of God “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” Nothing can separate us from God and His promises. What limits us is our belief that He is able. Purpose to know and trust in His mighty power. His outstretched arm is there for you!
