We need to look no further than our right hand:
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8
Yet we can reserve God or place restrictions on Him. We can only take to Him the problems once they are out of control, instead of relying upon the Wonderful Counselor. Who better to counsel you than He who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient? Who better to counsel you than He who made you?
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13
And as a bonus, as a counselor He is wonderful! His counsel unto you will be marvelous, amazing and astonishing. Oh beloved, forget the counsel of the world; come to the wonderful counselor!
Secondly, Jesus Christ is the Mighty God. The dictionary
defines mighty as showing superior power, size or strength; exceptional. That
is the God we serve! Whatever you face, God is superior to your problem in
power, size and strength. The world will have its gods but they will all fade
with time and pale in comparison. Fame is fleeting and often the most famous
are the most lost and hopeless just read the tabloids. Money is another
popular god of this world but so many of the richest are the most miserable. In
the days of Elijah the Prophet the popular worldly gods were Baal and Asherah.
Many strayed from the one true God to follow these false gods as they do today
with money, fame, or self-actualization. Elijah challenged 450 prophets of Baal
on
At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened." 1Kings 18: 27
The Bible says they continued to call on Baal for six more hours and started cutting themselves as well. But no response from the false God. It was then Elijah's turn. He doused the sacrifice with water to make it that much harder. He prayed to God and the real God, the Mighty God, answered with fire. The 450 prophets of Baal were slain that day as the Mighty God answered the cry of Elijah and He still answers our cries to Him today.
