As followers of Jesus Christ, we have access to the awesome power of God. That access to power can be corrupted and degraded if our receiving connection is disrupted. Likewise, our ability to harness that power and generate positive outcomes in this world can also be corrupted and degraded if our delivery connection is disrupted; however, with the right connections, together with God, we can accomplish extraordinary things.
As an example, consider the electrical power we rely on in our homes. It is dependent on a secure connection to the power plant that produces that power. Once that power arrives at our home, the distribution of that power is dependent on the connections to the various wall outlets and lighting fixtures that provide us with a more comfortable life. Without a solid connection to the power plant, there is no power. Once that power arrives at our home, it is useless unless the right connections are made to the lights and appliances we depend on.
I think you can see where I’m going with this. Our first concern as followers of Jesus is to make certain our connection to God is secure. That is our source of power. And like the electrical example, that power is useless unless we have a distribution system that can turn on lights and generate useful energy.
Our Connection to the Power of God
If you’re a follower of Jesus, you are without question connected to God – but how strong is that connection? Do you feel like all the wires are connected or is it possible some have been broken and need repair? Before we go any further, take a moment right now and consider what it is in your life that may be disrupting your connection with God. We have to get rid of any clutter and make certain all the wires are connected if we want to operate with full power.
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NASB)
