Day 10: Embracing God's Might

Dec 10, 2025

Scripture: Matthew 4:16 - "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light."

Reflection:

As we ponder the mighty nature of Jesus, it's a reminder of His omnipotence, His unlimited power and authority over all things. In Matthew's Gospel, the declaration that those in darkness have seen a great light ties us back to Jesus' divine nature as Mighty God. Jesus being mighty is not only about the power to perform miracles but also the profound capacity to overcome any darkness in our lives.

Whether we are aware of it or not, we face giants regularly, obstacles that seem insurmountable and challenges that threaten to overshadow our spirits. In these situations, it's natural to feel overwhelmed, yet Jesus invites us to rely on His strength. His might assures us that no problem is too big for Him to address, no challenge too complex for Him to resolve. He promises to be our refuge and strength, a constant help in trouble.

Knowing Jesus as Mighty God transforms our approach to life's battles. At every turn, He stands ready to fight on our behalf, inviting us to rest in His unlimited strength. As we journey through Advent, let us embrace His might, confident that His power is at work in our lives, breaking through the darkness and bringing us into His marvelous light.

Action Item: Reflect on a time when you felt overwhelmed but saw God's power at work in your situation. Thank Him for His presence and strength in your life.

Prayer:

Mighty God, thank You for Your power and presence in my life. Help me to rely on Your strength when I feel overwhelmed. Amen.
