Might when used as a verb: indicates a possibility or probability
BUT, when used as a noun
“My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”.
Ephesians 6:10
If we are to” be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”, we must know what it means as a noun. If you look in the dictionary, the definition of “might” is:
The power, energy, or intensity of which one is capable.
TOTALLY the opposite!
What is the Lord capable of? What is He able to do?
When Daniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, were faced with either bowing to the image of gold or being thrown into the fiery furnace, they knew “our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.”
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew their God!
How did God respond to their faith? He sent the pre-incarnate Son of God into the fire to not only to rescue them but to keep them company.
When king Darius was about to throw Daniel into the lion’s dens, he tells Daniel “thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.” But, he still had his doubts so the king spent the night fasting and was not able to sleep. He got up early and hurrying to the den of lions, “he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?”
Daniel responded, “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me.”
Daniel knew His God!
What happens to people who know their God?
They do exploits!
