  The Source of Son Power Scripture: Hebrews 1:10–12, NLT “ In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever. ” (Hebrews 1:10–12, NLT) These verses were written about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus is the one who laid the foundation of the earth! Jesus made the heavens with his hands! Jesus is the one who is always the same and will live forever! The earth and heavens we are able to see will be folded up someday and discarded like old clothing, but Jesus will live forever. From a human perspective, I do not know if we can even begin to comprehend the magnitude of these verses. We are talking about power far beyond any human imagination. We are talking about  Son Power . The same Son Power that is at work in the heart of the ...

  Praise as a Remedy    Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.  Psalm 43:5   If you have ever been disappointed in a friend or family member, you have probably found it a challenge to pray for them. But it is hard to stay angry with another person when we are praying for them. The same could be said about our relationship with God. If we find ourselves disappointed in our circumstances, the surest remedy is to praise God. Recommended Reading: Psalm 47:6-9 Psalms 42–43 were likely originally one psalm later divided into two for purposes of liturgical worship in the temple. They recount a period of disappointment by the psalmist who thought God had forgotten him and was not going to rescue him from his oppressors. But both psalms end the same way: “Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him” (Psalm 42:11; 43:5). The psalmist didn’t let his disappointment k...

  Divine Power Scripture: Zechariah 4:6, NLT “ Then he said to me, ‘This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.’ ” (Zechariah 4:6, NLT) Son Power   is the Holy Spirit at work in the life of the believer.  Son Power works in our life as we continue to receive the revelation and understanding of the Holy Spirit. He is the divine power of God, the Lord Jesus Christ himself prompting us and empowering us to do his will. Son Power is sourced in God alone.  Many passages in the Bible confirm that the sufficiency for living the Christian life is provided to us by God. It is not by self-power, self-effort, or self-reliance that we accomplish anything of everlasting value. Trusting in self to live the Christian life will always lead to failure. In John 6:63, Jesus said, “The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit...

  Resurrection Power Is in You “The surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe… which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 1:19-20 Reflection Paul prayed that you and I would comprehend the greatness of God’s power toward us who believe. This is resurrection power, the power Father demonstrated when He raised Messiah from the dead. And this power is at work in you. That truth becomes especially important when you feel discouraged, depleted, or as though nothing is happening in your life. There will be times when you do not feel strong. There will be days when pursuing God feels difficult. But your spiritual life is not sustained by your feelings. God is strengthening you from within by His Spirit. So we keep moving forward by faith. We continue pursuing Him, even when we cannot see immediate results. We thank Him, give Him glory, choose what is right, and discipline ourselves ...

  Christ is the Power of God Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:24–25, 27–29, NLT “ But to those called by God to salvation … Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.    This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.…  God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God. ” (1 Corinthians 1:24–25, 27–29, NLT) All of life is sourced in God. He holds our very breath in his hand. He directs all of our ways. He gives us our abilities, opportunities, and whatever resources we need to live a life in conformance with his will. All that we have comes from God. The Bible makes it ...

  Introduction Daniel 2:24–49: In today’s reading, Daniel visits King Nebuchadnezzar to tell him his dream and explain its meaning. He describes a giant statue with parts made of different materials, which is then struck by a stone and collapses. The parts represent a succession of kingdoms (beginning with Nebuchadnezzar’s) that will rise and fall. They will be supplanted by God’s kingdom, which will destroy all others and will never end. (Some later Christian interpreters, considering the prophecy fulfilled in Jesus, identified the kingdoms as Babylon, Media, Persia, and Greece, with the stone signifying the church.) Today’s Key Verse: Daniel 2:47 GNT The king said, “Your God is the greatest of all gods, the Lord over kings, and the one who reveals mysteries. I know this because you have been able to explain this mystery.” Read 24  So Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had commanded to execute the royal advisers. He said to him, “Don't put them to death. Take me to the king...
