His power in us


 


The most powerful thing in the world is not always what it seems.


Like a nuclear bomb… that is not the most powerful thing in the world.


Like a bear or other wild animal that is upset… that is not the most powerful thing in the world.


Like a horrible storm with strong winds and rain… that is not the most powerful thing in the world.


Like a mother whose children have been harmed… that is not the most powerful thing in the world.


This might not be popular.  You might not even agree.  But I do believe that the most powerful thing in the world is God and His people who are equipped with His truth.


Let that sink in and let God be who He is in your life.  Faithful and strong.  True and truth.  Wisdom above all others.  Let His words hold your heart, help your hands and guard you in every way possible.  


Here is just a little of that truth for all of us…


Proverbs 4:10-13  NLT  

My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. 11 I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. 12 When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble. 13  Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.  Guard them, for they are the key to life.


Take in the powerful things that these verses share.  We are children of God.  That makes us heirs and very blessed.  Wisdom from God guides, teaches, holds us and more.  Holding His wisdom and letting us guard us makes us powerful.


Literally this key to life is the most powerful thing in the world.


2 Corinthians 12:9  NLT  

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
