Incomparable Strength

"To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?" asks the Holy One. Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. (Isaiah 40:25-26 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• So self-absorbed in our daily lives, we hardly notice the magnificence of the heavens or the sheer magnitude of the universe or the vastness of the oceans or the resplendent beauty of  mountains, valleys and plains, or the incomparable God and creator who made it all.

Give thanks:

• For the unlimited and extraordinary power of our God who moves mountains and quiets storms with words alone, who speaks, and the created obeys.
• For how the Lord engages his great power to sustain Emmanuel College and to create greater financial stability for use in growth and expansion of the kingdom of God.
• For the financial breakthrough experienced this week. To read more, visit our website at http://www.ec.edu/news/emmanuel-college-achieves-financial-breakthrough 

Pray today:

• For the students and faculty of Emmanuel College as they enter the final week of classes, for students to prepare well for exams, for faculty to discern and meet the needs of students, for persistence in those who are discouraged and for encouragement to all.
