For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 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 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 his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
Ephesians 1: 15-23 (Apostle Paul)
Ever since I first heard the song “Same Power” by Jeremy Camp the idea that the very same power of God that raised Christ dwells in us. It is available for our daily struggles in life. I know it is there but have trouble calling it into my life. That is, until I started to pray more and believe more.
As I have tried to improve my daily walk with God, His power subtly crops up in every aspect of my life; whether it is my having happiness and less fear, coping with problems that used to annoy me, or merely seeing the world in a new perspective. His power works in me.
I have several pressing issues that I need to address but I have come to believe God has it all taken care of. I just need to seek to do His will and everything else will fall in place. I cannot control the future or change the past. I can only accept the present: a chance to love God and make a difference in some small way.
