Power Lines

"Boom!" 

I jumped up and looked out the window at the pouring rain. 

Had lightning struck our house? 

No, but it hit a power line and knocked out our electricity. 

I began thinking of the upcoming challenges: 

• No air conditioning to cool the stagnant Florida heat. 
• No lights. 
• No appliances for a warm meal. 
• No water (we had a well with an electric pump). 

I could have hugged the men from Duke Energy who came within the hour to repair the damage. 

If only I realized I need Christ's power even more than I need electricity. 

His power (Ephesians 3:20):

• Blows away the stagnant errors in my mind (Romans 12:2).
• Brings light to my darkness (John 8:12).
• Sustains me better than a hot meal (Matthew 4:4). 
• Gives me Living Water (John 7:38).

And the best part is that God's power lines don't go down unless we disconnect ourselves from prayer, God's Word, and fellowship (Philippians 2:12-13).
