Let God Bless You!

Do you believe God is powerful…He has the power to do whatever He desires?

The big theological word for this is omnipotence. Omnipotence comes from two words: omni – meaning all; and potent – meaning power. So literally it means: all-power. We translate it as all-powerful or almighty. Omnipotence means God is all-powerful. Therefore, He can do anything…everything…that He desires to do. Nothing is impossible to God.

Do you believe God is wise…He knows the best things to do, and how and when?

The big theological word for this is omniscience. Also from two words: omni – meaning all; and science – meaning knowledge. This word literally means: knowing all knowledge. We usually translate it as all-knowing. Omniscience means God is all-knowing. He knows everything. He knows everything about all things. He knows all there is to know about you and me! Nothing is beyond God’s knowing.

Do you believe God is love…He loves you completely?

There is no big theological word for this, so I’ve made up one. Since omni means all and amor means love, my new word for God’s love is: omniamor. This means God is all love, and that all love finds its source in God. He is the originator and sustainer of all love. There would be no love without Him. Also, He is all loving. He loves totally and everything God does, He does because He loves.

If you believe God is powerful, wise and loving then why do you sometimes doubt His desire to bless you abundantly and wonderfully?

Since He is all-powerful, He can bless you if He wants to…He has the power. Because God is all-knowing, He knows the best ways to bless you and when, where and how to do so to bring the greatest benefit into your life …He knows.

So He has the power and knowledge to do wonderful things in your life. Most of us would agree with this statement. Our doubt, therefore, must come from the third aspect mentioned above: His love. Though we know God is love and does love, and we believe He loves us, for some reason we have a hard time believing He truly loves us without strings attached or without holding a grudge. We have a hard time believing He loves us totally, completely, warts and all; and that He wants to shower and demonstrate His love to us in many ways, many times each day!

The Bible says: “God is love” (1 John 4:8b). And because He loves, He desires to bless our lives. Also from 1 John 4: “God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him” (vs. 9).

His love of us prompted His giving His Son to us who would die for us!

The most famous passage in the Bible states the same truth: “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God loved, so God gave…and He still operates that way today.

He loves you. He desires to impact your life positively, in great ways. He has the power to do so. He knows the best ways to do so. And He has the love to do so.

Believe Him. Trust Him. Open yourself to Him.

Let His love bless you today!
