"He has made the earth by His power"

Text: Jeremiah 51:15

THE MAJESTIC POWER OF GOD

The LORD declares to Jeremiah the majesty of His might and power. He has never lost that power. The power of the mightiest nation cannot be compared with the might of God

“He has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom,
And stretched out the heaven by His understanding.
When He utters His voice—
There is a multitude of waters in the heavens:
‘He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightnings for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.'”
Jeremiah 51:15-16
