In yesterday’s post I told you about my car troubles on Sunday, and how it took me quite some time to get to church due to the fact that my car thought it was over heating. Yes, it is a little spooky when a car can think on its own. But it is down right frustrating when it makes stuff up. At any rate, that is not where I am going with this post.
The Reduced Engine Power light came on which, as I said yesterday, is a safety feature to prevent any damage to the engine due to over heating. The result of the reduced power was reduced speed. Yesterday, I reflected on the fact that even at a reduced speed, as long as we are headed in the right direction, we will eventually get where we are going.
Today I want to think about this power issue. I experienced first hand what reduced power means. It was frustrating to try and get where I was going with only a portion of the power that I knew should be available. It took forever to get where I was going and on more than one occasion, I held others up as they waited for me to pass by or they waited for an opportunity to pass me.
How often do we neglect the power that is available to us through the Holy Spirit? Francis Chan’s newest book, Forgotten God, deals with this subject (you can read more about the book here). As believers and followers of Jesus, we are promised by Jesus himself, that we will have the very power of God residing within us.
Do you live your life as if the Spirit of God is alive and present within you? Today is the day that you must begin living your life boldly as a true child of God. The world is depending on it!
Be bold!
