“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” – Luke 11:28 - Daily Bible Reflections October 11,2014

YOU’VE GOT THE

POWER !

 

“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” – Luke 11:28

 

When people nowadays are asked for something that is beyond them, they’d reason, “Hindi kaya ng powers ko ‘yan!” (My powers can’t handle that.) It’s as if everyone has superhero powers!

         By definition, “Power is the capacity to do action.” But in my personal dictionary and vocabulary, I want to define it as “the capacity to do good and godly deeds.”

         How do we accomplish good and godly deeds? Jesus said in Luke 11:28, “Blessed... are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Every day, God presents to us countless opportunities to do good. We only have to seize the moment! Seize it in godly power! Obey the Word and act on His strength!

       Question: Are you concentrating on your power or dispersing it? Dispersing “powers” come in the form of unproductive deeds, vices, addiction and sin.

         My strong advice: Use your godly power and impact this world through your life. Then you’ll realize that your “powers” can do it because you’re backed up by His grace! Obet Cabrillas (kpreacherobet@gmail.com)

 

Reflection: “The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something; whereas the strongest, by dispersing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything.” (Thomas Carlyle)

 

May the power of Your Word concentrate our energies so that we can do godly deeds and fulfill godly purposes.
