How can we follow God if we don’t KNOW God?
That’s an important question for any Christian to answer!
It’s my belief that it’s hard to follow a God that you don’t know … and I think all Christians should get to know God as much as they possibly can! A great place to start is by learning some of the attributes of God.
Use this free devotion on one of the attributes of God — His omnipotence — to start a conversation with your kids today about God’s all-powerful nature.

Day 2: God is All-Powerful
Question: What is the biggest animal you think you could pick up?
Transition: Today’s verse talks about how God is all-powerful. What do you think it means that God is all-powerful? (God being all-powerful means that there is nothing that is too hard for God to make happen. You might have also heard that God is “omnipotent.” That means all-powerful.)
Passage: Jeremiah 32:17 (NLT)
O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!
Questions for Preschoolers:
- What are some things that God can do that are really cool?
- What’s something a person can’t do that God can do?
Questions for Elementary Aged Kids:
- Can you think of a situation or circumstance that would be too hard for God to handle? What would that be?
- When you feel big emotions about a problem you’re facing, do you ask God for help? Why or why not?
Questions for Middle and High Schoolers:
- Why do we doubt God’s strength?
- Has there been a time where God did something big in your life that you couldn’t do in your own strength?
Wrap Up: God is all-powerful. There is no limit to what He can do or what He is in charge of. Any time we face a problem or something that is hard, we can pray and ask for God’s help because He is all-powerful. He is the only one who can help us with anything at any time.
Prayer: God, help us to understand how powerful You are and trust You to help when we are in a situation we just can’t fix. Amen.
