Expressions of Faith: Power
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,
(Colossians 1:11 NIV)
Power
Power is essential for life and living.
Power is a triple-edged sword. Too much power can fry electronics and corrupt leaders.
Unfortunately, even once Christian leaders can be corrupted by power.
Not enough power makes people angry and often leads to conflict.
No power makes everything stop—electronics, cars, bodies . . . brains.
God promises "all power" [His power!] the correct amount to Christians so we can endure patiently—as long as needed.
This is power that never
- fries
- corrupts
- causes anger
- leads to corruption
- runs out.
Help me to accept this power instead of struggling on alone.
