Are we power seekers? Do we like the power that comes with some offices? Maybe we like the triceps that come from the weight room?
Maybe we like the most horses under the hood? Maybe we like coming in first place in our 5k?
These things aren’t necessarily bad but power can deceive us.
In God’s Kingdom one realizes after a few hits with a 2 by 4 that one has no power and was really never created to be a powerhouse.
Might be a hard lesson to learn but when one knows that they are powerless, needy, poor in spirit, and wretched, joy and meaning come knocking on your door. Life might not get easier but life will get sweeter and sweeter all because you will be resting in God’s power and not in the weakness of mankind.
God does not want to tear you down, He wants to build you up so that you will be more like Jesus in your journey of life, don’t miss out, all because He loves you!18
