Addicted To Power!
"How great are his signs, how powerful
his wonders! His kingdom will last forever,
his rule through all generations"
Daniel 4: 3
Some presidents and politicians, and some of us, suffer a
craving addiction for power. King
Nebuchadnezzar, the most
powerful man on
earth, dreamed of more power. He said, “Is
not this great Babylon, that I
have built for a royal dwelling by
my mighty power?” (Daniel 4: 30)
But he met his match in the God of Daniel. When the Hebrew
youths were thrown in the fiery furnace, “the fire had no power”
(Daniel 3:27). When Daniel was tossed into the lion’s den, God
delivered him “from the power of the lions” (Daniel 6: 27).
Daniel said, “Praise be to the name of
God for ever and ever; wisdom and
power are his” (Daniel 2: 20, NIV)
We face many problems as we press onward toward heaven,
and we have a powerful enemy who tries blocking us at every
point. But we have the powerful grace of God around us,
the
powerful hand of God upon us, the powerful presence of
Jesus
with us, and the powerful promises of God beneath us. To
Him
belongs all power, might, glory, and honor!
"In and through every outward thing, look only to
the power of His Spirit, and the merits of His Son"
John Wesley
