Have you considered how much...

Have you considered how much power you have available to you? In Christ, the potential
is almost unfathomable. It's yours to use in the proper manner. But it's also almost never
tapped. To what power do I refer? It's the force Paul mentions in Ephesians 1:19 and 20 -
- "His power for us who believe ... God put this power to work in Christ when he raised
him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places."
In order to use this power, our hope must be in Christ and that glorious inheritance he promised us. Is that what you are hoping today? Most of the people I know trust in their feelings, in their intelligence, in some politician, or in some philosophical concept. Feelings change. Genius fades. Politicians tell people what they think people want to hear. Philosophies come and go faster than the latest best-seller.
But God raised Jesus from the dead and that fact won't change. If you believe in that truth and commit your life to Christ, that great power is yours, too.
