Power
We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior. ― John R.W. Stott

Mighty is Our God
The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is robed, He has girded Himself with strength and power; the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up the roaring of their waves.
Christ in Me
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Time to Refuel
I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. (John 15:5, AMP)
This last week I realized that I was running on empty. I had somehow managed to get to a place where there was nothing left but fumes. It’s my fault. I didn’t stop as often as I should have to spend time with the Lord during my trip home to be with my Dad. Yes, I had moments here and there with the Lord. But nothing like what I have when I’m home. I carve out the time. I make the effort. I don’t let a day go by without some really good time in the Word. But somehow when life gets crazy, when the storms hit, and chaos breaks forth. My time seems to escape me. I go through a day just happy to survive. Happy to have one more day!

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:26-27)
