the power of God


The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God. --- Smith Wigglesworth

It is the power of God that often catches my attention and then works when I think that nothing good can come out of the situations around me.  That is when I am totally wrong and often totally missing what God is doing.

But re-read the quote above.  It may just be the power of God that takes us out of selfishness and places us in selflessness.  It might be the power of God that takes our misplaced faith and places it back in the right place.  It must be the power of God that takes us from the wrong direction to turn to the right direction.

The sweetest of places the power of God will place us is in the plan of God.  There is no better place than the will of God and where the plan of God is at work.

Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT
I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

May we come to know, see and long for this greatness in our every day life.  Don’t wait till Sunday or till the next event.  Live daily with the power of our great God as your direction, your drive and your prayer.  He is mighty always, and he is mighty in you all the time you let Him work. 

Colossians 2:12  NLT
For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.

The power of God gave us salvation.  The power of God gives us daily righteousness.  The power of God guides us, protects us, inspires us, blesses us, corrects us … you get the point.

Lets spend some time today longing for, looking for and enjoying the power of God.
