Power In-age
We had a power outage for a couple of days a few weeks ago. I had a speaking
engagement and had to fly out early. The challenging part was that I had to pack
IN THE DARK. I was just hoping I'd get to the speaking venue with two shoes that
matched.
The biggest crisis, though, was that I had to do my readying with no BLOW DRYER
OR CURLING IRON. Oh, the humanity. It's one thing to go to a speaking engagement
with shoes that don't match. But with bad hair? I have to tell you, I was sorely
(and follicly) missing the power.
It's a good reminder though, that a power outage doesn't have to be our biggest
worry. Why? Because we have a power INAGE. When we have Jesus on the inside, we
have all the power we need to live a life of real significance. Colossians
2:9-10 says, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and
authority." He is the head of every power, and we've been fully given his
fullness. Could we be any more power-full?
I'm so thankful to the God of all power who has, by his grace, allowed the
fullness of his power to live in us through his Son, Jesus. Living in his power
is living in delight. And it's living in "de light." With or without
electricity.
