Psalms 58-62

To God belongs all power. Another word for that is omnipotence. Therefore, all power is derived from God and He exercises control over it. No one has power but that God has granted it. He can give it or withdraw it at any moment.

Power is the possession of control, authority, or influence over others. It is the ability to act or produce an effect. It’s strength. It’s might.

Since power is a commodity that finds its origin in God, He will steward its use. Those who have it will be judged on what they do with it. Therefore, it is wise to use it with great prudence.

Our prayer is the most effective measure we have to respond appropriately to the power exercised over us. A right relationship with God places those with power between us and God.

Jesus taught that men ought always to pray and not faint. [Luke 18:1]
