The old question goes something like this: "If God is so powerful, can he create a rock that he cannot lift?"
My immediate response has always been: There is no good answer to a bad question.
God has the power to do anything and everything that He wills to do (that is what it means to be omnipotent). This does not mean God can literally do everything. Numbers 23:19 and 1 Samuel 15:29 clearly state that God cannot lie, nor can He change His nature (i.e. He cannot cease to be God.) However, God can and will do all that He wills and promises to do.
The Psalmist clearly understood God's omnipotence when they wrote, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
Praise the Almighty, the King of Creation!
