 “.... may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1. Peter 5:10
Often we may be aware of a limitation in our personality or a lot of burden in life and want to overcome it, but failed in our attempt. Such a condition may warrant us to improve on our own, but we may end in discouraging and frightening situation. when we seek God’s help, we will have the greatest power in existence on our side.

Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Genesis 18:14.

Our God is Omnipotent-(All-ruling-Almighty)Omnipresent-(present everywhere at the same time) Omniscient(having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or perceive all things.)

The Bible tells us that God does perceive all things, which means that no fact can be hidden from His knowledge, everything remains bare and open.
Jesus Christ said clearly that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
  • Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles”. 2 Corinthians 1:3

The Bible states that God is All Knowing and All Powerful, and has an infinite understanding, which is beyond human knowledge. Only the Grace, from God can sustain us from the evil powers of the world.
  • "He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite." Psalm 147:4-5

God’s grace is comprehensive and universal for any kind of help or need of any believer at any time.
  • When a disaster or troubles comes upon you, what are the resource you can draw upon and trust? or 
  • On whom will you take solace for your tribulations?

 .... God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Stop for a moment and think.
Seek Jesus and He will show you the way.

God Bless
