No Battries?

That you may know that is the hope of His calling... and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe. - Ephesians 1:18-19

My 2-year-old grandson was fascinated by the bubbling mud pool, the result of geothermal activity in Rotorua, New Zealand. On moving to another spot and seeing no bubbles there, he remarked, "No battries?" He was so accustomed to his electronic toys that he attributed even natural phrnomena to battery power!

Christians can make asimilar mistake - they look to their own puny power to live righteous lives. But the high moral and ethical standards of holy God prove impossible to live up to. The result is joyless Christians, hopelessly burdened and defeated.

Paul's prayer for the believers in Ephesus was that "the eye of your understanding [be] enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling... and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe" (Eph. 1:18-19). He wanted them to see that the power available to help them live God-honoring lives is the same power that "raised [Christ] from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places" (v.20).

The power to live according to God's standards comes only when we plug into His inexhaustible power. How fo we do that? By daily seeking His face and asking Him to fill us with His Holy Spirit. - C. P. Hia

Fill each heart and reign alone,

Break the idols we have known;

Lead us to confession true,

Give us strength Thy will to do. - Peterson

The Light of the World knows no power failure.

Most of the time, we are doing stuffs in our own... yet when we face failure, we will start asking God for reasons... funny?!... that is what human beings love to do nowaday...

I had been told from early in the beginning, those who trying to solve problem with his own way will never be success... well, some of them may will, but it is not the perfect one... with God's strength, everything will be the finnest...

Everybody will need a recharge center... for me, it is church... house of Lord... this world is getting worse, tricks and lies... mum tell me I have to become wiser or someone like them in order to live when I finish my study... and I found that it is very tired... every second and minute I have to think about who will benefit the most if I do this or that... what would lead me to success without hard work... OMG!!! crazy with those stupid stuff...

Everyone love to live in a peacefull place... ( i guess)... yet everyone is causing troubles and problems... what kind of human mind is this?!

For me, people in church are like kid... that doesn't mean they are babyish... or not mature... I mean they are keeping a clean, pure heart... they won't have tricks or lies... someone that I won't worry they will be harmfull for me...

Twice a week for 'charging'... loads for week is lessen... thanks God... love You...
