Power:
1. the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way
2. the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others or the course of events
I believe we all want to have power. We want the ability to control certain things. We want to have influence over events and things that happen to us. We sometimes even desire to have power over things that we struggles with, it may not be physical things but it can also be things like anger, sadness, worthlessness, love etc.
Its nice to have power but it also not nice to feel powerless. The solution to this dilemma is God. In order to be powerful we need to first become powerless. God allows us to feel powerless so that we can go to him to give us power. He is the only one who is all powerful or omnipotent. He has power over everything. The only power He gave us is CHOICE. we either choose Him or not. If we choose Him we become powerful since He gives us power. If we do not choose him we have temporary power.
Thank you Lord Jesus for giving us power. This week I want to encourage you to give thanks to God for the power He has given you. If you need power over anything ask Him and back off to allow Him to show His power through you.
At the same time don't let power get into your "head" (puff you up) remember what happened to Samson and Lucifer
