What do you think of when you think about power? Do you think of those who hold high places in government? Do you think of the rich and famous? Power is only powerful when used for the benefit of all. Here is what the Bible has to say about power:
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, Acts 1:8 ESV
For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20 ESV
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Ephesians 3:20 NIV
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, Colossians 1:11 NIV
And from my poem “All Things Are Possible”…When you call on the power that’s inherent in you…
So, what do you think of when you think about power? Do you think of you?
