God can do anything (He is Omnipotent)

With all the big screen superheroes in our culture today, the concept of omnipotence isn't hard for children to grasp. However, we need to help them know that in God's case the power is absolutely true and real. We also need to help them understand the difference between God and the superheroes: God's power isn't the power of fists and guns; it's the power of love, compassion, and forgiveness.

Simply put, nothing is impossible for God. He can do anything and everything, and he's more than willing to use his ability to help, because he's love. The Bible says that nothing is impossible to the person who believes and trusts God. We should teach our children that no matter what happens in life or what they come up against, they can rely on the One who can do anything to help them overcome, solve, or get through the problem.
