About answers that empower…
Psalms 65:5 You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the
hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, 6 who formed the mountains by
your power, having armed yourself with strength, 7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. (NIV)
If we had all the answers to all the questions we could ever ask, we would be like God.
If we had all the answers to all the questions we could ever ask, we could rule of the
world. For in our heart that cries out for answers, also lives a heart that could not
handle the power of the answers. When we want power to deal with life, we must learn to be
content in receiving whatever grace and love God has for us without seeking the power to
be like God. It is enough for us, if we are honest, to let God reveal His truth to us as
He desires, not as we desire. In truth, we already have enough power for one person to
use. For when we want answers that empower, God knows and we know we already have the
answers and we already have the power. We know, deep down inside of us, it is not more
power that we need but it is the courage, patience, and love to use the power we already
have that counts the most. Getting an answer to get power from God is not important. What
is important is that you do and be what God has already told you to do and be. When we
learn to listen to His truth and His voice that rings in our heart each minute, we then
know we have enough of His power. We have enough of His power of love to change our world,
change our circumstances, and change our lives.
