Face To Faith

DAY 363 OF 366

Who is doing the work in your life? As you go through each day, do you find that it takes all your strength to just get by?

We all know that life is not supposed to be lived this way, but we don’t know the alternative. It’s like we go through life like a child riding their broomstick horse. The farther they go, the more tired they get because they have to do all the galloping.

Our lives go through the cycle—we go to church, we go home, we go to work, we go home, we go to church again—and we say we believe, but how many of us are still doing all the galloping?

Jesus has a better way for us today, and that way is the Holy Spirit. He promised that He would send the Holy Spirit, and when the Promise came, He would clothe us with power from on high.

The word picture Jesus paints for us in this promise is incredible. He literally shows us that we will be clothed, wrapped in dynamite power from the ultimate of sources—Himself— where He is enthroned on high. This is top shelf power!

When we are clothed in this kind of power, everything changes. We are no longer forced to weary ourselves running our legs ragged trying to gallop our way through life. Instead, we ride on a mount who doesn’t need to be guided, who never grows tired, but pushes on and rushes to His conclusion without ever missing His footing, never hesitating, threading His way with perfect skill through the challenges of life.

He wants you now to crawl up into His lap and enjoy the provisions that He has come to provide—the removal of fear, doubt, gloom, and loneliness—and just be with Him and enjoy all that He has accomplished for you.

We do not need to wear ourselves out in the old way of doing things anymore. God has given us something new, clothing us in power from on high.

Come to Jesus today and just ride and enjoy all that the He has accomplished for you.

Prayer
Lord Jesus,
Thank You for all You have done for me! I believe in Your promise that I have been clothed with power in the Holy Spirit and I ask You to help me live more fully in that power every day! Amen
