"My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on man's wisdom, but on God's power."
I Corinthians 2:4 & 5
The Apostle Paul, who planted this church, is writing a letter full of wisdom. The counsel of this letter is so sharp that it has been included in the Bible. There is no lack of wisdom or insight here. Yet, rather than pointing to his powerful words, Paul points backward to the start of the church. He reminds those reading that the power of the Holy Spirit not only kick-started their church, but their relationships with God. Paul knows that words have their limits, but God's power has no limits.
So, I charge you, confront God's presence. Get into your Bible, spend time in prayer, grow strong in hearing his voice. Rest in God's presence. Let his power clean you, mature you, and guide you. Find a secret place to connect with him and find yourself there often. Make knowing Jesus in all his power your top priority.
Prayer
Father, help me and the young people reading this blog to find you. Help me to make a way for Your power to invade my life and theirs. I ask for your help, power and guidance, in Jesus's name, amen.
