Power outages can be very disruptive. But there's an Unlimited Power Source that never fails.
To whatever side you turn, you are forced to acknowledge your own ignorance and the boundless power of the Creator.”
- Voltaire
The anonymous hymn-writer speaks for all honest souls—“I am weak, but Thou art strong.”
By now you and I should have learned that we are morally weak, typically sinful, invariably limited.
Feeling the impact of being made of dust, we discover that much in our life is far beyond our pay grade.
On the other hand, our faith acknowledges that absolutely nothing is too difficult for Almighty God.
At His command, the universe snapped to attention and began its precision march through space and time.
The Creator of heaven and earth directs intergalactic traffic patterns so they intersect perfectly like clockwork.
If this day seems too hard for us to manage, God promises to graciously provide response-ability.
If an intractable habit has us near the threshold of despair, God will provide victory as we trust and obey.
If tomorrow’s uncertain horizon makes us tremble, God reassures us that His promises will brighten the future.
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
(Genesis 18:14 NLT)

Good reminder indeed! I'm reminded of the Apostle Peter pre/post Pentecost. Before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, he was weak and he denied Christ. With the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Peter came into boldness, and the impetus to do tremendous things for the Kingdom became possible. We need Gods help to remain in Him.
Great reminder. Thanks
