God's Power

Christmas morning children wake from their sleep with expectations that a wonder-working Santa, pulled by a sleigh of flying reindeer, has stopped by their home while they were asleep. Children believe Santa magically delivers full sized bicycles, doll houses, and toys.

Why is Santa such a legendary success? Children want to believe in someone who has wonder-working power. However, there could be no greater Wonder-Working One to point them to than the Lord God.  

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if parents raised their children with the same belief in God that they raise them to have in Santa? 

Our Worker of Wonders shows up every day, not once a year. Our Worker of Wonders doesn’t give gifts to His children on the basis of their daily behavior but rather on the basis of His Son, Jesus Christ. 

Moses praised our wonderful God, “Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders” (Exodus 15:11). 

If you’re in need of wonder-working power go to God. Be still in His presence. Ask Him for help. Listen to what He impresses on your heart. 

If you’ve never experienced God’s wonder-working power, consider Jesus’ words to believers in Acts 1:8, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you will be my witnesses…” 

Yes, as a believer you have God’s Holy Spirit, His wonder-working power, in you. Offer your life to Him. Experience His wonder-working power.  

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, WORKER OF WONDERS, there is none like You who has worked wonders through Your incarnation, sacrificial death, burial and resurrection. I love and celebrate You.

The Lord is always present and wants us to talk to Him through prayer. Learn to pray more purposefully through Debbie’s book, Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion.

Merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with the joy that only our sweet Savior can bring. 

 

When you were little, did you go on a treasure hunt? Today, do you put your treasured valuables in a safety deposit box?

The Bible tells us that believers have a treasure within them. What is the treasure? Second Corinthians 4:6-7 explains that the treasure is God’s Holy Spirit. The treasure is the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God shining in our hearts.

“God… is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. For we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7).

The treasure we carry about in our earthly bodies is God’s surpassing greatness of power. With humble reverence and boundless gratefulness, we bow and worship God for the great gift of His presence in us.

Lord, You are the TREASURE men seek and whom I have in my heart. Help me present You well to others and share with others the surpassing greatness of Your power. I adore and worship You.
