Power

Our God is so powerful! He created the universe, he made you! He holds so much power, and he wants to use his power in your life!

Ephesians 3:20 
By his mighty power at work within is, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 

He wants you to have hope because his power is capable of it! 

2 Chronicles 20:6
O Lord, God of our fathers are you not the God who is in heaven? Power and mighy are in your hand, no one can withstand you.

Psalm 147:5
Great is our Lord and might in power, his understanding has no limit, the Lord sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.

1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighy hand of God so at the proper time he may exalt you.

All these verses show how much power God has at his fingertips, but what word do some of these verses have in common, being humble. God wants his power to be revealed through you. He wants you to be humble so it is evident. How do you show power while still remaining humble? By remembering it is power through Christ, that is in you. I watch UFC with my husband (it's wrestling and boxing all mixed together) they always get interviewed after the fight. I love it when they first thank the Lord. They are humbling themselves before those people. Showing that they have physical power, but the power that is fueling them is through Him alone!! You also see a lot of interviews where they are the opposite of humble lol. God is able to accomplish sooooo much more than we can imagine, only by him and his power. Pray for him to fill you up with his power, so you can be a powerful person. I am reading this book called Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk. This book talks about how to be a powerful person and not a powerless person. It explains that a lot of us think that being powerful is bad, but we only may think that because of the bad examples of power we see displayed in this world. God wants you to be powerful and display his power in a humble way.

prayer:
God humble us before you. Let us know we can only have power and strength in you alone. Work in our lives in ways we wouldn't dare to ask or hope, so we can display your kingdom here on earth. We love you!!
Amen.
