Circle Of Energy!
"To this end I strenuously contend with all
the energy Christ so powerfully works in me."
Colossians 1: 29
The largest and most powerful particle accelerator on earth is
buried beneath the border of Switzerland and France. It’s the
CERN Large Hadron Collider—a 17-mile-long circle nearly
600 feet below ground.
Particles fly around the tunnel at velocities approaching the
speed of light, and when they collide, heat produced can be
more than 100,000 times hotter than the center of the
sun.
You might not want to live in the middle of that circle. But
how about living in the middle of a far greater encircling
power—the unlimited energy of Jesus Christ.
According to commentator William Hendricksen, Greek
translation of Colossians 1:29 is: “By means of his energy
energizing within me with power.” The Lord’s power
is
bottomless, boundless, and
immeasurable.
When our own strength is exhausted, we must remember that
God’s children live in the center of His energy, which energizes
us with power. Just when we need it, the Lord gives the needed
strength for the necessary
occasion.
"Day by day, yes, even moment by moment Christ’s
enabling Spirit was at work within Paul’s entire
person, bestowing strength
upon body and soul."
William Hendricksen
