Charge Complete

"...Be strong in the LORD [be empowered by your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].  Ephesians 6:10 (Amplified Bible)

How many gadgets do you have around your house that have rechargeable batteries?  How many do you have that must be recharged daily?  Cell phone?  Computer?  Once we've plugged them into the source of power, when the process of replenishing is over, they often give us a message to inform us that the task has been accomplished, announcing..."Charge Complete."

Do you need to be "recharged"?  Do you have the need for an extra boost of power??  There's one way...plugging into the source of ultimate power.  That's God...the creator of the universe.  Can you even begin to fathom the power that it took to bring this world into being?  That's only the beginning (and not just literally!) That same God is the One who can bring the dead to life!  Can you imagine the force behind resurrection power???

As Paul said to the church at Ephesus, "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.  I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and the incomparably great power for us who believe.  That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion...."  Ephesians 1:17-21 (NIV)

That power is available to us!!  Let's run to His Word!  Let's bend the knee in prayer!  Let's seek Him with all our hearts...and receive.  Let's get charged up! 

Our mighty God...we "pray that from [Your] glorious, unlimited resources [You] will empower [us] with inner strength through [Your] Spirit."  Eph. 3:16 (NLTPlease recharge our souls, our hearts, our minds with the power of You!  Show us your boundless might!  Oh how we love You!
