Fantastic Friday #585 - Power

Power

18 I pray 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 his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. Ephesians 1:18-21

Do you ever go through your day and wonder where your power lies? Maybe you think you have the power to overcome the challenges placed before you, or you feel you have the power to change evil in the world. The thought of an individual powering through on their own is where our world is struggling right now. There are people in positions of power who do things for their own glory and what they perceive as making them more powerful. We have to step back and realize where our power comes from, and where our power lies. It all is within our Father in Heaven, who as this scripture notes transfers this power to us as we need if we believe in Him. Imagine the world without God's Power and without the peace that we feel when we know He is with us helping us power through whatever difficulty we have. Keep moving forward knowing that your power lies in Him and in no one else.

Have a great weekend.
