Is anything beyond God’s control?

BIBLE MEDITATION:

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: 

What’s under Jesus’ control? Mark chapters 4-5 show us some of what God has placed under the authority of our Lord Jesus.

You’ll find Jesus stilling the storm (vv. 4:35-41); He is the Master over disaster. You’ll find Him healing a demon-possessed man (vv. 5:1-20); He has authority over demons.

Jesus heals a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years; disease is under His domain (vv. 5:24-34).

Finally in these chapters, He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead; Jesus has authority over death (vv. 5:38-43).

So what’s under Jesus’ control?

    The weather/disasters

    Demons

    Health issues

    Death

Whatever befall—disaster, demons, disease, or even death—Jesus Christ is Lord!

ACTION POINT:

Friend, meditate upon this passage and rest in Him today, for He has it all under His control. 

19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might

20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, - Ephesians 1:19-22
