” People do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.” Deuteronomy 8:3
” To the faithful you show yourself faithful. To those with integrity you show integrity.” Psalm 18:25
As followers of Jesus, you and I have a back-up power source. Our Lord Jesus has provided us opportunities for conversations with him during our storms in life. He provides us with his Holy Word to read in times of conflict. He provides us with His Holy Spirit who resides within us and directs us when we are down. It is during great storms in our lives when we sometimes lose power. It is during these times that we feel lost and abandoned. We can’t figure out what to do and we allow confusion to set in. We sit back and wait for the power to come back so that we can once again feel the power of Jesus in our lives. What we need to understand, is that our Lord never leaves us. When the devil tries to take our power source from us all we have to do is flip on the generator from our God in heaven. We should immediately bow down in prayer and ask for his power to be restored. We should immediately go to the Word of God and seek his promises for our life. We should immediately refocus and turn our attention to our faith in Jesus and what he has gone through for us. When we do these things, God puts our problems in perspective. Our power through Jesus comes back on and we are once again able to overcome bad thoughts, bad actions and bad words. We once again are able to walk through the fire of criticism and persecution. We are able to drench our problems with the faith and trust we have in Jesus. If we are faithful to our Lord in all things, then our Lord will be faithful to us in all things. We must remember that the power of Jesus never goes away. The only thing that falters in our times of trouble are our own thoughts, focus and faith. We must always stay strong in the Lord and keep his power flowing into our lives. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
