When I look at the question posed by Agur in the verse above, I have often smirked at how easy the answer would be for a third grade Sunday School class. But let's look a little closer at the question. While we readily know the answer, when was the last time you recognized the attributes of your Savior? Who else has the power to descend and ascend to heaven? Can you tame the wind? He used it as a fierce force to get the attention of Elijah and his disciples but then calmed the winds and seas for both Jonah and his disciples. Who else controls the reaches of the water? And then allows his servants to part it for His glory?
We often fail to view God's power on such a macroscopic scale but rather confine his abilities to our simple problems. We are so focused on our own petty issues that we fail to recognize his abilities to impact not only our lives but our community, country and the world. He made it all and is in control of it all.
So pause for a moment and reflect on His awesome power! Did you notice the turning of the leaves and the beautiful music of the birds? Take a peek at the night sky and recognize that He created each and every star. It kind of takes your breath away to recognize that we serve such a magnificent master!
Oh, and those problems in your life? They look a lot smaller now when you recognize who is on your side!
