The Power, The Presence, and The Purpose of God

DCC Devotionals: The Power, The Presence, and The Purpose of God
By Don Vess

Key Verse: Hebrews 11:6

“Without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

The Power of God

God is omnipotent—all-powerful! He created the heavens and the earth, holds all things together, and reigns supreme over the universe.

Colossians 1:17 — “In Him, all things hold together.”

When we face challenges, we must remember that the same power that spoke the world into existence is at work in our lives. No problem is too great for our Almighty God! Trust in His strength today.

The Presence of God

God is not only powerful—He is present! He dwells within those who believe in Him. No matter where we are, He is with us.

Psalm 91:1 — “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Jesus promised that He would never leave or forsake us. We are His temple, filled with His Spirit, able to commune with Him at any moment. No matter what you’re facing today, take comfort in knowing that God is near.

The Purpose of God

God has a purpose for your life! He sent Jesus to redeem us, restore our relationship with Him, and empower us to spread the Gospel.

Luke 19:10 — “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

As followers of Christ, we are called to walk in His purpose—to share His love, live righteously, and advance His Kingdom. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in us!
