Power belongs to God

One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: "Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”~Psalm 62:11-12

Power belongs to you Lord.  Your love is perfect and enduring.  Your love never fails.  Your love heals and restores.  Your love keeps our minds in perfect peace as turn our face and minds to You, the One that Saves.  You, Jesus, are life.  You are hope.  You are our reward.  So let us be diligent in well doing. Let us not get weary in loving You and our neighbor.  Let us not get weary in doing the right thing when all around us are people choosing to go their own way.  Keep us on the right path and let us not be tempted by vain riches and glory.  Father, keep our hands to the plow because we know that in due time, the time You have set, we will reap a harvest.

Lord let us not worry about what man can do to us because all power and authority is in your hand.  Father, keep our bows straight and our aim steady as we walk this life.  Keep our trust in You.  Let us believe without doubt.  Let us not waiver in our commitment to live this life according to your will and your way. Let us not fear or worry because You are God.  You are Lord and all power, majesty, dominion, and honor belong to You. We believe in the promises that You have made to us.  We know that they are true.  Giants may be before us, but You are Lord.  And by your power they will fall.  

Father we love You.  We thank You and we praise You for being God.  Thank You for your unfailing love and kindness towards us.  We lift our hearts to You giving You all the glory, honor and praise.  In Jesus name. Amen

I love God and I desire to serve Him with my whole heart, but I cannot do that in my own strength  or in my own power.  I can only do that through the power of the Holy Spirit that He has allowed to live in me.  Outside of God, I have no power. I can fool myself into thinking that I do if I am not careful.  So I am grateful for His Word that reminds me that power belongs to Him.  I am grateful that I don’t have to try to live this life in my strength.  I am grateful that because power belongs to Him I don’t have to fear the actions of man.  I am even more grateful for His unfailing love that keeps me and gives me grace.  His love opens my eyes to Him.  His unfailing love let’s me see the beauty in the storm.  His unfailing love allows me to forgive myself and others.  His unfailing is hope.  His unfailing love is why He stayed on the Cross and shed His blood for me.  His unfailing love is why I live because His power caused Hin to rise and conquer death for me.  So I pray that all that I do is for Him alone because I want to lay crowns at His feet.  Knowing Jesus and His unfailing love is my reward, one that I did not earn.
