READ: PSALM91:3-10
What do you
consider when you want to enter into a business partnership? When going into
partnership with someone you will, of course, wish to know what kind of person
the prospective partner is. This kind of knowledge should help you decide
whether or not the partnership is worth going into. The Bible says that those
who know their God shall do exploits (Daniel 11:32). To develop confidence in
God, we would want to know who God is. We would want to know what He has done
and what He can still do. God introduced Himself to Abraham in Genesis 17:1 “I am
the Almighty God…” He is the Almighty. What exactly do we mean by
Almighty? If you break the word into two, you will have “All” and “Mighty”.
This means the One who has all might. If you relate to God as the One who has
all power, He will show you His attributes and power. If you relate to Him as
the One who can do all things, He will show you that He, surely, can do all
things. When you confess He is your Healer, He will want to find out whether
you really mean it or not. Your healing may not come immediately after you have
prayed. He may deliberately want to know whether you are trusting or not. For
example, Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego said the Lord they were serving was able to deliver them,
and that He would deliver them. He allowed them to be thrown into the midst of
the fiery furnace before He delivered them. He could have prevented them from
getting into the fire. He could have sent a bolt of thunder to wipe out the
whole army of Nebuchadenezer. However, He wanted to be sure that they really
meant what they said. Gold would always test you. He is the Most High God. The
Bible says: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1). The moment you have the Most
High on your side, you are secure. In Ecclesiastes 5:8, the Bible describes God
as someone higher than the highest. “If you see the oppression of the poor, and
the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not
marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher
officials are over them.” Because He is the Most High, you have nothing
to worry about, if you are in partnership with Him. If the One who is higher
than the highest is on your side, you will be a winner all the time.
MEMORIZE:
JOB11:7–Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits
of the Almighty?
