I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
As Christians we possess a power greater than human strength. But to experience that great power we must plug into the correct source. If you want a transformed life, you must plug into Jesus Christ.
That’s what Paul did and it changed his life. At first, Paul tried keeping the law to please God and to be accepted by Him. But after much exhausted effort, he realized a new truth when he said, “For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” Galatians 2:16
We have a greater spiritual power inside of us that is greater than our flesh and natural self. It’s a power that can overcome any temptation, sin or obstacle. If you continue using your own power you will become frustrated and exhausted. The fire will go out and you will become cold.
But once you get plugged into the real source of power, your life will never be the same. The power that He supplies will never run out or blackout. It gives us a new purpose and gives us courage to live in faith.
Are you exhausted? Are you trying to combat the things of this world on your own? Stop trying so hard to be good and accepted by God and start living in the light of Jesus Christ. Recharge your self in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit and die to yourself.
Trust in the power of Jesus to give you all that you need.
Pray
Lord, I can’t do this on my own. I need You and I want You to take control. I surrender to Your authority and I trust in You to give me rest.
