Answer this question: Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence, his Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does he do these things because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust him to do them in you? Don't these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He believed God, and that act of belief was turned into a life that was right with God.

Galatians 3:5-6

I am having a hard time blogging lately.  It seems that this back injury has affected my mind more than my back.  I don't even know how to describe it but that 1 Peter 4:1-3 applies more than I realized.  Peter was speaking to the church which was experiencing adversity.  He encouraged them to live for Christ in the face of this adversity, to look beyond their current trials and put away sin.

I believe there is more power to live for God than we choose to access.  I like Paul's prayer for the Ephesians.  He prayed that we might be strengthened and empowered from the Father's glorious, unlimited resources!  I am learning to lean on that today.  I guess you could say that I hit the LOTTO.  See you at church tomorrow and we can talk about all that we have available to us to live godly lives.
