The Humility of True Power
“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”—Genesis 41:16 (NIV)
“Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.—John 4:50 NIV
Sometimes Jesus asks us to act on faith and take Him at His word; the miracle comes after we follow His instruction. If you are stuck facing a problem pray for God’s guidance and ask for help in believing and trusting His power in your life.
Dear Lord, give me the courage to act on Your word—and to see beyond my problems to Your power.
“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)
