Let me start by apologizing for yesterday. We awoke to a a tremendous storm that was blowing stuff all over the place, and knocked out our electrical power. This made it a fun morning getting reading in the dark, but made it a difficult morning for constructing a blog entry. I then had to proceed off to a day full of activities that also made it difficult to construct a blog entry.
So my post yesterday said that I had no power. That was only partially correct. Yes, its correct that I did my home did not have any electrical power, but actually I shown the real power that I am able to tap into. I was reminded of the song that we were singing just on Sunday, a hymn called Every Time by Philip Organ, in which there is this verse:
Everytime I watch a storm I know the awesome power of my Lord
but then it goes on to say
I don’t know why so many things seem to get in the way of seeing my God’s glory
But I try everyday to see and thank Him for all the things He’s given me
Yep, it was a frantic and frustrating morning yesterday at the ol’ homestead, but what we missed in that was that God laid his glory and power right out in front of us. After some time considering the morning, I see how wrong my post’s title from yesterday was. I sure do have power – plenty of power!
11 One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,12 and that you, O Lord, are loving.
Surely you will reward each person
according to what he has done. Psalm 62:11-12 NIV
Now, we can choose to live our lives in the dark, like we were yesterday, fumbling and bumbling around, or we can plug into the spiritual power that exists and live in a way that is supercharged! Be strengthened by the power of God. Step out of the darkness and into its light. It’s enough to keep you going in the right direction! It’s all you need to keep focused.
10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:10-14 (New International Version)
