Infinite Power, January 11
Who is this cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his
strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Isaiah 63:1
.
The only-begotten Son of God came to this world to redeem the fallen
race. He has given us evidence of His great power. He will enable those
who receive Him to build up characters free from all the tendencies that
Satan reveals. We can resist the enemy and all his forces. The battle
will be won, the victory gained, by him who chooses Christ as his leader,
determined to do right because it is right.
Our divine Lord is equal to any emergency. With Him nothing is
impossible. He has shown His great love for us by living a life of self-
denial and sacrifice and by dying a death of agony. Come to Christ just
as you are.... Cast yourself wholly on His mercy. There is no difficulty
within or without that cannot be surmounted in His strength.
Some have stormy tempers; but He who calmed the stormy Sea of
Galilee will say to the troubled heart, “Peace, be still.” There is no nature
so rebellious that Christ cannot subdue it, no temper so stormy that He
cannot quell it, if the heart is surrendered to His keeping.
He who commits his soul to Jesus need not despond. We have an
all-powerful Saviour. Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your
faith, you can say, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help
in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and
though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea” (
Psalm 46:1,
2
)....
Let us have more confidence in our Redeemer. Turn not from the
waters of Lebanon to seek refreshment at broken cisterns, which can hold
no water. Have faith in God. Trustful dependence on Jesus makes victory
not only possible but certain. Though multitudes are pressing on in the
wrong way, though the outlook be ever so discouraging, yet we may have
full assurance in our Leader; for “I am God,” He declares, “and there is
none else” (
Isaiah 45:22
). He is infinite in power, and able to save all who
come to Him. There is no other in whom we can safely trust.
