An All-Powerful and Intimately Tender God

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way." - Ephesians 1:18-23

"God is both all-powerful and intimately tender with His people."
I feel like this quote from my Sunday School book* sums up these verses pretty well.
In these verses you can see both aspects of God character: His power and authority and His closeness to His people.
"and His incomparably great power" This in itself shows the magnitude of God's power through Christ, but he goes on in a greater, detailed description saying, "[it] is like the working of His might strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead". How amazing to have a God of such "incomparably great" power! Nothing is like it, and no one is like Him!
What is even more amazing is that He is also a tender God who choses to be close and be a part of His people.
"and God. . .appointed Him to be the head over everything for the church, which is His body" Jesus is the head of the body, the leader of the church. He is an integral and intimate part of our everyday lives. He is always there, leading and guiding us in day-to-day living and within the church. But what is so cool, is seeing how He leads us so closely with His divinity and great power. Both aspects of God (and all other aspects as well) in play at once. All working in our lives for His express purpose. :)
