God's strength

Do you think I’ve forgotten how to help? Am I so decrepit that I can’t deliver? ~ Isaiah 50:2 (MSG)

I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength! ~ Ephesians 1:18-19 (MSG)

KEY THOUGHT:
Focus on Christ through whom God's uninterruptable strength flows.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, I am grateful that no one can turn off your power. Where I live the electricity goes off sometimes. But you are always on. I can rely on you. I confess that in moments of crisis I don't always look to you. I try to handle things on my own -- to generate enough personal energy to solve all the problems. Reset my switches so that I'm drawing only from you. I'm going to have the energy I need to serve you well. Amen.
