Power Belongs Unto God
“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.” (Psalms 62:11-12)
Today’s Morsel: Have you ever noticed that man just seems to think that they have power over others. Power is not given to us by God to rein and to control people. It is given to lead and to serve in a godly way. Even Pilate thought that he had power over Jesus, when Pilate said to him, “Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” (John 19:10-11) Jesus told him to consider again. That he didn’t have any power over Him unless He gave it to him. As the psalmist said, Power belongeth unto God. As Jesus told His disciples: “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:7-8) The Holy Ghost, which is the Spirit of God, gives us power. When we have this power, we have the authority to witness, stand bold, and be a godly example of who He is. How do you use your power?
Sing: There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus, to break ever chain, to break every chain, to break every chain.
Thought For Today: “Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.” (1 Chronicles 29:12)
