Is there anyone capable of time travel? Does it
benefit one to live as if there is a tomorrow and a
day of accounting? What power and strength can
one gain from listening to a conscience?
Jesus spoke to John to reveal His ability to travel
through time and His eternal knowledge: "I am the
Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,"
says the Lord, "Who is and Who was and Who is to
come, The Almighty God " (Rev 1:8). It was His
purpose to reveal His almighty control over all.
Eliphaz reminded Job that God did not profit from
the rightousness of any man: "Is it any pleasure to
the Almighty God that you are righteous? Or is it
gain to Him that you make your ways blameless"
(Job 22:3)? But Paul tells us it is great gain and
profitable for a man to live a righteous life.
God has given every person a conscience to listen
to what is right. He calls to us to fellowship with Him
and listen to Him: God has said, "I will dwell in them
And walk among them. I will be their God, And they
shall be My people. Therefore, Come out from among
them in the world's ways And be separate, says the
Lord. And I will receive you. I will be a Father to
you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says
the Lord Almighty" (2 Cor 6:16b-18). Our strength
and power will be His presence and promise.
Let us remember who is all powerful and all sufficient.
God's name is Jehová El Shaddai. He is the God who does
not give us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and
a sound mind. His power can give us all we need to live a
righteous life. Lift your hands to the most powerful God
of all the universe. You can Trust Him Today for strength
and power in your life!
