How strong is God? So often, we find ourselves trusting God when we experience many of His blessings toward us. However, when we get in the comfort zone of our everyday lives, we think He has lost some of His strength. One thing we must realize is that God doesn’t change, but our opinion does. We find that when we allow what goes on in our day-to-day living to distract us, we forget just how powerful God is. In Numbers 11:23, we find where God told Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand waxed short? Thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” Moses doubted God’s power like we do. Regardless we must not give into our weakness. As Moses learned, God’s strength is always available. He will never leave us or forsake us.
