"Mighty to save." Isaiah 63:1
Hebrew: rab yasha
Righteousness is might. The work of God is powerful and even stunning. It can change my life, and that's what I constantly want Him to do... and He can. He will. This is my hope, and yours too.
Here are the words of the late Bible scholar Charles H. Spurgeon that give me encouragement:
"...the divine power is equally seen in the after-work. The life of a believer is a series of miracles wrought by "the Mighty God." The bush burns, but is not consumed. He is mighty to keep His people holy after He has made them so, and to preserve them in his fear and love until he consummates their spiritual existence in heaven. Christ's might doth not lie in making a believer and then leaving him to shift for himself; but He who begins the good work carries it on; He who imparts the first germ of life in the dead soul, prolongs the divine existence, and strengthens it until it bursts asunder every bond of sin, and the soul leaps from earth, perfected in glory. Believer, here is encouragement."
