HE'S GOT THE POWER
Having power at your fingertips is an exhilarating experience. Whether it’s a diesel pickup truck, a compound bow set to ninety pounds, or a hockey stick ready to send the puck blazing past the goalie, if there’s one thing men love, it’s power.
Unfortunately, sooner or later, we all experience a power failure. Maybe your child gets cancer. Maybe you lose your job. Maybe your best friend betrays you. Maybe your car dies on your way home from work to pick up your wife for your anniversary dinner. No matter what the circumstance, being powerless is a man’s worst nightmare!
What do we do when we can’t fix the problem? It’s when we feel the weakest that God’s power can be most visible. God doesn’t guarantee that every tragedy will have a happy ending. But he does promise to pour his power into our lives. We may not fully understand the loss, pain, or betrayal that caused the power outage to begin with, but the unending strength of our Savior will help us endure.
The apostle Paul wrestled with a thorn in the flesh — a special weakness that drove him to his knees. His struggles show us that our reliance on God’s strength is what really empowers us.
Once we own that truth, we’ll survive every power failure we will ever have to face.
Lord, be my strength today . . .
