The eternal power and divinity of God are demonstrated, it is true, in the things that are made, but God speaks about His being almighty at a subsequent date to that of the creation. Now what I would say is that you do not require to compass almightiness; it is not necessary, but the knowledge that it exists in God is the solution to all difficulties that may arise from obstacles which appear in your way, and from obstacles which might seem to prevent the accomplishment of divine counsels. The comfort that lies in the almightiness of God is that there is no power that can stand in His way. It is a wonderful thing, as I said, to know that God is almighty, and every believer needs to know it. It is a fundamental element of the knowledge of God. If He is not almighty, there is a possibility of defeat; but if God is almighty there is no possibility of defeat in the heavens or in the earth. Knowing this, the christian is at perfect rest, for he, thereby, is in the secret that God, has ability to bring to pass all His pleasure.
