Our omnipotent God - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are your works, and that my soul knows very well.
Psalm 139:14.

Our omnipotent God
God's greatness and power can easily be seen in creation. "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God" (Hebrews 11:3). The more we occupy ourselves with the details of nature, the more we wonder at the precision with which everything goes together.

In this psalm David admires the process of the formation of the human body. From its growth in the mother's womb to the full-grown adult everything is coordinated. Generally we do not notice how complex our body has been formed until one of its functions fails. A single defect can restrict someone considerably. Therefore David praised the Creator and His power and wisdom. We should do so, too, when we contemplate God's great creation.

We should also be conscious of this: if God created and preserves the universe in its vast extent and a cell in our body with its minute details, He can also turn the difficulties in our life for our good at any time: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 33:27).

How easily we estimate the chance of a solution to our worries according to human ability and ask: "Can I change things myself? Can a doctor help me?" Then we often resign. It is good if we admit our helplessness. What a blessing it is that we can entrust everything to our Creator and His omnipotence!
