Living in the great North East has taught us that we need to be able to adapt to several climate changes throughout the year. The memories of Spring, Summer and Fall bring such a warmth to my spirit. This week many of us experienced a rude awakening that Winter is just around the corner as our little neck of the woods was coated with 3/4" of ice. So pretty, yet so weighty. So smooth, yet so destructive. Many of us felt the effects of being powerless!
I have come to this realization...I do not like to be without power! I like to be warm, I like to take hot showers, I like to blow dry my hair, I like to eat hot meals...and I like it when I flip a light switch to see that the light actually comes on! I also like it when God uses present circumstances to teach us spiritual lessons!
God is our power source, yet how often do we tap into him? For every room of uncertainty do we stop and seek his light of truth or do we walk in darkness trying to aimlessly find our way out? For every fear do we seek the illumination that will shed the light of truth that will bring release from dark imprisonment? The list of questions could go on and on as we take a look at how we respond to trials, temptations, anxiety, and doubts to name a few.
We have received power from on high. There is no greater source of power than that of the Holy Spirit. We just have to remember to "flip the switch". The Holy Spirit is a constant source - the same yesterday, today and forever!
2Peter 1:5 says, "His divine power has given us EVERYTHING we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."
With the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, we are never powerless. Live and walk in the power of God's truth!
