Power 2.0: Doing the Impossible


God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God. -Psalm 62:11

God, Sovereign, unbound by no rules, has done what you and I can never do. By making His Son Jesus to die for our sins, He has shown HIS great power.

It is the most impossible feat; the most Holy and blameless person who walked this earth took the place of the most sinful and unrighteous men, as He took on the sins of all the world upon His shoulders. This was to make us, we who revelled in our uncleanness, blind and oblivious to our sorry state, become perfect in God's sight.

And why does this show His power? It is because it is a work that not even the strongest, most zealous, enthusiastic person can dream of achieving. It is because it is a work that transcends time and will carry on into eternity. It is because it is a work that no one can dispute, no one can stand against it. God planned and He did it, and no one can come in the way of what He has achieved.

So, by God through Christ, we have been brought to God; no longer candidates of His wrath and now recipients of His eternal life. Reconciled to God.

Who can stand in the way of what He has done? Who can take the glory? God alone has purchased for us the highest good--Himself--paying with the Highest price, Himself.

Psalm 106:8: Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known
Matthew 6:13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
May God, by His great power, keep us trusting in His great power till the very end.

Love,

"Life-lines"

“Go on, be a go-getter!” “Good things come to those who wait”. “Be sensitive and tender-hearted” “Be tough and thick-skinned!”. “Successful people do not sleep! They burn the midnight oil” “You need about 8 hours of sleep to be productive”. “Put yourself out there. Grab life by the horns. Go hard!” “Take it easy. One step at a time, Rome was not built in a day”. “Live life to the full and don’t look back” “Take time to reflect, life is  best seen in hindsight”. “Stay hungry” “Be satisfied with what you've got”. It seems to me that there is so much advice out there about how to live life. When presented as a collection of punchy phrases they seem a contradictory bunch, don’t they? The truth is I don’t think anyone really knows the formula to live a happy life. Really, how could we know when we are all having our first go at this? As a lady in her 20s, it’s not unusual that I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what I must do...

Another gentle reminder

Dear Reader, Read Genesis 35 v 3: Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone. ” "...God,  who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone. ” God is faithful to His promise. He will never leave nor forsake those who trust in Him. Love, FeyVored

Power

Carrying on from the previous post , this post is about where to get courage against despair. I am no counsellor or therapist; I write from personal experience. I have also come to learn from research that many share similar opinions as I do which have helped them as well.   Depression causes one to feel alone in the dark; the cloak of gloom never lifts and it traps you from seeing anything in life as good, enjoyable, dependable or worth it. For many, there is a heavy feeling of shame and worthlessness and that you have nothing to offer this world. It is really difficult to go through this nearly every day and some have tried to find freedom by ending their own lives. My interactions with people who have made suicide attempts have showed me that many regret the decision. I heard of one man who jumped off a bridge and survived. But his thoughts when he let go of the railings were “What have I done?”, “I don’t want to die”. Each of us have a fighting spirit that wants to live...
