Resurrection Power

Posted on December 8, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

 

It is only right, at Christmas, to ponder the power of Easter.

 

 

Philippians 3:10 (EXB)
I want to know Christ and the power 
that raised him from the dead.

Know Christ, know power.
No Christ, no power.

The Spirit’s Power

Posted on December 7, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

 

2 Timothy 1:7 (GNT)
For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control.

 

Thank You, Lord, for power — for the power of love and the power of self-control. May we put Your power to use for ourselves (self-control) and for others (love).

Thine Is the Power

Posted on December 6, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

Continuing Advent with more from the Lord’s Prayer:

 


Thine is the power.

 

 

1 Chronicles 29:11 (NASB)
Yours, Lord, is the greatness, the power,
the glory, the victory, and the majesty.

High power, big power, God’s power.

Don’t focus on a distant horizon,
waiting for the coming kingdom.

Look around. The kingdom is beside you.
It is within you.
