Power in Prospective

What a wild ride it has been to get to this point. So much has been said and so many lives have changed over the course of a few years.


What I don’t really understand is the need for others to try to push their ideas to the point of having “power” over their friends and family. Many of you have lost some important folks in your life and that is just crazy.


Let me encourage you to let go of that power trip you may find yourself on. Be a good person. All power belongs to Jesus. Let Him reign in your heart and life. Show forgiveness and be humble. It is never okay to hurt other folks, even those you don’t personally know.


Live like Jesus and love like Jesus. When He was on trial before Pilate, most of the questions they had, He didn’t display power, He was silent! When He was on the cross, He ask His Father to forgive those that were in the process of hurting Him to the point of death.


There will be a lot said to you and around you. No need to try to lord power over them. In some cases, being silent might be just the ticket.


Psalm 62:11-12 TLB

[11-12] God has said it many times, that power belongs to him (and also, O Lord, steadfast love belongs to you). He rewards each one of us according to what our works deserve.
