What a Mighty God I Have
A Reflection on Psalm 147:5, Deuteronomy 10:17, and Job 9:4
What a mighty God I have—not a distant, silent force,
But the One who holds the universe and charts my daily course.
He weighs the mountains in His scale, He measures seas in hand,
Yet bends to hear my whispered prayer and helps my soul to stand.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit. (Psalm 147:5)
Mighty in creation—He spoke the stars to birth,
He formed the dust of Adam and breathed in him his worth.
The thunder is His voice, the lightning His swift flame.
The earth and heavens tremble at the speaking of His name.
Mighty in salvation—He parted the Red Sea,
He broke the chains of Pharaoh and set His people free.
He raised His Son from death's dark grave, He crushed the serpent's head.
The power that conquered sin and death now lives in me, it's said.
For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome. (Deuteronomy 10:17)
Mighty in mercy—though my sins are scarlet red,
He washes them as white as snow; He raises up my head.
His strength is made perfect when I am weak and small.
What a mighty God I have—my all in all.
So I will not fear the battle, nor the giants in the land.
The same God who fought for Joshua is fighting at my hand.
What a mighty God I have—my refuge and my tower.
In Him I live, I move, I trust; He is my saving power.
He is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and come out unharmed? (Job 9:4, paraphrased)
Amen.
