Thoughts on today’s verse…
Power! We love power. We love the sound and fury of power. We love the power’s ability to bring positive change to terrible situations. The greatest power ever manifested on this earth was the power that was displayed when Almighty God withheld His power and wrath while His Son was persecuted, abused, humiliated, beaten and crucified. Now this is an amazing display of power, and it was displayed especially for us and to save us. Also, we know that the cross was not the end of God’s powerful grace; This was the door to the glorious and victorious resurrection of Jesus. We now live by the power of God who raised Jesus from the dead (Ephesians 1:18-21). Praise God for his power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20-21).
Video commentary…
We have included Phil to collect Video from four years ago as an added blessing in our poem today:
My prayer…
Holy and majestic God, we praise you for your incredible power and might. We also thank you for your love, which guides the release of that power to bless and liberate us. Thank you for knowing that we are but dust, and without your abiding Spirit, we will not be able to have glorious life with you when our bodies fail. Thank you for saving us by withholding your mighty power when we sin, and for forgiving us through your sacrificial power released for us in Jesus. Because of your mercy, Father, and in the holy name of Jesus, we pray this through the intercession of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
