Power Struggle Surrendered

It's is a beautiful crisp spring morning. I noticed the daffidols are up about five inches and the early hosta varieties are pushing out of the ground. What an inspiring display of power we see each spring. We hear of the power some people wield, but the power we see in creation when it comes alive each spring casts a huge shadow on all other power. I remember an experience we had while visiting in Denmark many years ago. We were visiting a retirement home and when coming out to our car to leave, we noticed a mushroom had pushed its way through a black top driveway. There we were, four grown adults, standing in a circle and staring at what looked almost unimaginable That small spore had accomplished something great. That's the way it is with us when new life in Christ is ours. We come alive with power. Our power is never our own, however. Come to think of it, the power of the mushroom spore was not its own either. Kind of makes one feel rather small, doesn't it? Isn't it amazing how great our God is? This world is His and everything in it. Be encouraged today that you and I are safely in His powerful care and in His power we can accomplish what He has given us to do.
