Power

4-27-2009

It’s easy to forget just how powerful God is. During election times, the Republicans blast the Democrats, and the Democrats blast the Republicans. Both sides talk about how bad the country will be if their opponent gets elected, when the truth is God knows what he is doing. We as humans are great at panicking during difficult situations. We as CHRISTIANS have no need to panic, as we know the ultimate outcome!

God is power, and there isn’t anything as powerful as him who gives us life. If we simply call on him, we will have all of the strength we will need. If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, you have a complete assurance in his ability to deliver at all times. In Ephesians 1:18-20 it says, “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 believer. 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 this right hand in the heavenly realms.”

When you are going through some trials in your life, you may not be able to get through them on your own, but you will with the strength of Christ. The power of God is readily available for all of those who truly believe.

Application:
1. Read Ephesians 1:15-23
2. If your faith seems to waiver at times, why?
