We had just moved into...

We had just moved into a new home, and the furniture was getting placed. The bookcase over on that wall. The couch in front of the window. The drop-leaf table over there. The organ? Where should we put the organ? We agreed on the corner where it would look just right.
An electrical outlet there? Yes. We had it in place and the cord plugged in. But when we turned on the organ, there was no response. The little red light didn't come on. Obviously, we weren't connected with electrical power.
We checked the plug. Yes, it was in securely. Well, what could possibly be wrong? We gave up. We did. We concluded that the jiggling of the move caused some wires to be disengaged, and we would need to call an electrician or an organ technician.
Then, it hit us. The upper part of some of our wall outlets was activated by the switch by the door. We checked. The organ cord was plugged into the upper part of that outlet. We flipped the wall switch, and voila, the organ was on.
In Romans 1, Paul stated that Jesus was "declared to be the Son of God with power."
Yes, you need to be "plugged into" the power!
