How can we trust God's power in our personal challenges today? God’s Proven Power in History Psalm 135:9: “He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.” • This verse recalls literal, historical events—the ten plagues (Exodus 7–12). • God displayed unchallengeable authority over nature, disease, economy, and political rulers. • Because Scripture is accurate and trustworthy, these past acts are reliable evidence of what God can do now. What Those Ancient “Signs and Wonders” Mean for Us • They reveal God’s nature: He is active, intentional, and unstoppable. • If He intervened for Israel, He can intervene for you; His character does not change (Malachi 3:6). • The plagues targeted Egypt’s idols—showing that no rival power can ultimately stand (Exodus 12:12). Translating Yesterday’s Miracles into Today’s Confidence 1. Remember: Call to mind concrete examples of God’s power in Scripture—Red Sea (Exodus 14), Jericho’s walls (Joshua 6), the empty tomb (Luke 24). 2. Personalize: The same God indwells believers through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11). His resurrection power is already at work in you. 3. Apply: Approach challenges expecting divine involvement, not mere human effort (Ephesians 3:20). Practical Ways to Anchor Trust • Write down present needs and match them with specific biblical acts of God’s power. • Speak verses aloud—Psalm 135:5–6, Isaiah 41:10, Romans 8:31—to reframe fear into faith. • Recall answered prayers from your own life; they are modern “signs and wonders.” • Stay in community; testimonies of others reinforce certainty that God still acts (Hebrews 10:24–25). Living in the Assurance of God’s Power • God’s power is not theoretical; it is experiential and available. • Your struggles—health, finances, relationships—are platforms for Him to display His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). • Like Israel on Passover night, trust His word, act in obedience, and watch Him work. |
