You are half through a family evening when the power goes out without warning. Automatically the family goes into "Plan B" mode, going for the torches, candles, and matches. In only a matter of five minutes, the family is back playing the game at the table just as before — the only difference is the light source being used for the game!
Over half an hour goes by, and the family is having a great deal of fun with the game. One family member gets up and discovers that the lights are on next door and down the street. They all felt quite silly when they realized that they had been struggling with torchlight and candlelight when they could have been playing by the normal lights.
Are you living your life like that? By torchlight? By candlepower? Not acknowledging God's willingness to do great things?
The apostle Paul reminds you that, "God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him." (Philippians 2:13) Will you join him in saying, " I can do all things in him who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13 NLT)
[Jesus said to his closest followers] "The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father." (John 14:12)
