2014 Day 40 – Limitless

Power

For today’s reflection post I wanted to share this video which unfortunately has no real spiritual implications. However, it does have fundamental importance on our ability to have faith that all things are possible. The video shows the potential of what we are capable as humans. But what happens when we multiply our human capabilities with the power of God in our lives? Hopefully, this video challenges you to thing about that potential.

2014 Day 18 – James 2

Faith, Power, Trust

Doing good is simply not enough. Too many people, including believers, want to work their way into God’s favor. On the other side, simply saying you have faith and choosing to not do anything is just as incomplete. James 2:18-19 says, 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. Believing in God is the first step, but the journey does not end there. Belief in God gives us the opportunity to know Him and develop a relationship with Him. It is through that relationship where we learn to interact with God and develop our faith through our actions.

2013 Day 344 – Zechariah 4-6, Isaiah 50

Holy Spirit, Power, Trust

This world tells us we must be tough, strong, powerful and harsh in order to survive in it. But God has a different plan in Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. The key word here is Spirit because the only things of lasting value come from God’s Spirit leading us. As we make the decision to live our lives for God, we must trust less in our own strength and abilities by trusting God and the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

2013 Day 338 – Habakkuk 1-3, Isaiah 45

Mercy, Power

Today we read another one of the minor prophets, Habakkuk. This book was written to show that God is still in control of the world despite the apparent triumph of evil. One of the prettiest verses in this book comes from Habakkuk’s prayer in 3:2 Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk accepted God’s will. He knew God’s power and control over Judah and the discipline they would face through captivity from the Babylonian Empire. He also knew God would ultimately deliver them from this captivity. We don’t always need to know or understand God’s will, but we must accept His control and His perfect plan.

Power

Even the strongest of us get tired sometimes, but God’s power and strength is always there to give us the energy to persevere. Isaiah 40:29-31 says, 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. When your strength is failing you, remember God is always there to renew and refresh our strength.

Power

Such a great illustration to show just how big God really is. Our perspective isn’t even close to reality. I hope you enjoy this short video.

2013 Day 321 – John 19-21, Psalm 142

Freedom, Power, Protection

Since we are finishing up the book of John, I thought this would be the subject of this post. But when I read the second part of today’s reading, I realized how much I need these verses in Psalm 142 this morning. I found myself repeatedly reading the last two verses of Psalm 142:6-7 6 Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. 7 Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me. I often give too much time to the things that can hurt me. I find myself giving poor choices in my life too much freedom. In turn, when it comes time to break away, I find it difficult to do. It was not until I read the first part of verse 7, “Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name.” that I realized it is not in my power that I am set free from power of evil, sin, or hurt in my life, but through God’s power. I know this should be common knowledge, but for some reason it resonated with me this morning.

2013 Day 313 – Ezekiel 46-48, Psalm 135

Love, Peace, Power, Protection

We have finally come to the end of the book of Ezekiel. The book started by describing the holiness of God that the people of Israel had grown to ignore. God’s presence left the temple as a result of their rebellion. In the end, the book details visions of the new temple in a new city and new people, all of which continues to describe God’s holiness. Our imperfect lives may cause us to lose focus on God and only see the here and now. But we must always return to God’s presence in our lives. If we let Him, God will never let us feel alone. When things are at their worst, always remember God is with us.

2013 Day 305 – Ezekiel 20-23, Psalm 123-124

Power, Protection

In today’s reading, I really took hold of what David said in Psalm 124:8, Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. If we believe God is powerful enough to create both heaven and earth, why would we doubt His ability to help us when we need Him most? Trust in God and His power and desire to protect us in all we do.

Healing, Power

I do not have very mush to say about today’s reading other than to say God is always in control. His punishment and His grace are always just and timely. When it feels you are alone, He is right there with you waiting for you to allow His healing power to restore you.
