Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:4 ESV; For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.
Do we live as if God’s power is with us? Our God is faithful, and I love it when He stands at the intersection of life and His Promises.
He is always standing there and yet often we do not see or recognize His power. We claim His power yet live as if the power found in the flesh or the world is somehow more real. I am preaching to myself here (and maybe you).
Paul continues to challenge us in 2 Corinthians 13:5. Do we realize Jesus Christ is in us? Test yourself; do you live in the power of Jesus? Are we also crucified in our weaknesses? I am glad I am weak because it is at this intersection of weakness and power that I find the power of God and Jesus in me.
Are you living in God’s power?
Today’s Prayer: God, thank You for Your power and your Son. I know You are with me. Help me to live in Your power. Help me to act boldly and courageously trusting in Your power. Forgive me for seeking the false promises of power this world has to offer. My life is in Your power and help me to faithfully live with Jesus. Thank You Jesus for living in me. Amen
