Knowing Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Or Knowing God?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Do We See the Power of Machines,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

as Gifts from God?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Samuel 2:10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord\u2019s adversaries shall be shattered; the Most High will thunder in heaven. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; he will give strength to his king, and exalt the power of his anointed.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 1:29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him and declared, \u2018Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is one thing to recognize power that overcomes one\u2019s adversaries with might, thunder, and violence, and then to attribute that same kind of power to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a completely other kind of thing to recognize the power that God exercises for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, God could exercise that power might, thunder, and violence, again and again and still not bring us to know peace or a blessed life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead God, sends Jesus, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only when we know we are free from the guilt and destruction of our sins are we able to know peace and live a blessed life, not just for ourselves but for all other people as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the kind of power that God has and exercises,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So with that freedom each morning, what will we do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
