The power of God in me.
Not long ago my girls and I were on our way to somewhere and the radio was on. The song "Same Power" by Jeremy Camp was on. I think we may have been singing along, but I'm sure I wasn't really thinking about the words. Then, my oldest daughter said from the back seat "You know, that is really amazing."
Me: What is?
Mae: That the same power that rose Jesus from the dead lives in me.
Quiet
Me: It is amazing. And deep.
E: What are y'all talking about.
Me: The same power that it took to raise the dead,
Mae: to move mountains
Me: to create the world with a word. That same power is living in us if we have Jesus in our hearts. We often live in fear, or live our lives defeated. But we SHOULD be living like we have the power of God in us. That power is AMAZING!
Why do I do that? Why do I think I can't do something, anything, that He has called me to. What does it take for me to live in the knowledge of what a mighty God I have?
Faith the size of a mustard seed. Power that can raise the dead, that can create a world...all with a spoken word.
There are so many people heavy on my heart. Situations that seem to have no earthly solution. A world that seems so evil. It is easy to feel overwhelmed, even defeated.
But the same Power.
"Greater is He that is living in Me, He's conquered our enemy. No power of darkness, no weapon prevails, we stand here in victory."
1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.
Ephesians 1:19-21
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
