2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Peter 1:3 By his divine power, God has given us
everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by
coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous
glory and excellence.
A few weeks ago I shared in my sermon the fact that our
desire to have social status or possessions can lead us into temptation to
sin. Our current culture propels us to
want more – to want the “er’s.” Greek
yogurt is thicker, our TV’s are getting larger, cars are faster. We buy
products promising to make us smarter, thinner or younger. The “er” signifies that
what is being offered is better than what we are or what we have. We need to approach everything with
moderation and discernment. Meantime we
can truly trust that the best “er” we can obtain in life is the powER of the
Holy Spirit.
Thank you Father for bestowing your power upon us through
the Spirit. May we use it wisely to live
godly lives. Amen.
Have a beautiful day!
