For Thine Is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory

God has spoken once,
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
and to You, O Lord, belongs mercy. (Psalm 62)


Suppose the one who is merciful and loving is also the one who has all the power. Suppose the one who is full of gut-wrenching compassion is the one who controls everything in the universe.

If that's the guy who promised to preserve you in the true faith, and if He is the one who has the power, then what can thwart His plan?

"For Thine is the kingdom and the power and glory" isn't just telling me that "our God is an awesome God." Rather, it makes the claim that no power is greater than the power of His will to save me.
