Power

I was watching a video of a shuttle launch and was struck by the sheer power of the blast.

Immediately I thought of Colossians 1:11 in which the Holy Spirit, through Paul, prays that we may be '...strengthened with ALL POWER, according to His glorious might...' and Ephesians 3:16, '...that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED WITH POWER through His Spirit in the inner man...'

We know that the natural world was created from the spiritual. 'By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.' [Hebrews 11:3] Therefore it stands to reason that the spiritual realm is greater than the natural.

Our power is in the Spirit--in our unity with the Lord. And it is more powerful that any rocket fuel, any nuclear reaction.

We just haven't learned how to harness it yet.
