The Humility of True Power

He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”).—Mark 7:34 NIV
When Jesus healed the deaf man, he yelled out, “Be opened!” When you are open to trusting God, you are receptive to His guidance, help and healing. God is faithful. If you find yourself shutting down and facing a crisis of faith, close your eyes and pray, “Be opened!”
Dear Lord, I come to You open and ready for Your healing in my life.
“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”—Genesis 41:16 (NIV)
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.—Psalm 19:4–5 (NIV)
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.—John 3:8 (NIV)
