The Power of God

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God"

I Corinthians 1:18 (New King James Version)

I love the words "being saved" ! I can never reach a point where I can say "Ok Im good I dont need God's forgiveness !"

The message of the cross is the power of God for us !! This message should be our constant meditation... It is this message that can cleanse our inner most filth ! It is this message that gives us direction !

That the Lord would come down and take upon our sins and our shame and pay the price for us........Cant even begin to imagine the depths of His love.

As I grow in the Lord , His light begins to shine brighter within me...And you know what ? Even the tiny corners of my life get lit up ! Do you know what I see ? All the dust, the cobwebs and the filth thats lying there .... Things which I never even realized were there !

As we grow in the Lord, as we hold on to the message of the cross which is the power of God , He forgives us from all our sins...He blots out our past ...And all darkness is expelled in His light... But now we need to take the efforts to clean up.

We need to sweep off all the dust , clean up the cobwebs... It can be anything from being judgemental , to being tempermental , being lazy , taking God for granted , straying away from His Holy Will ,.. not seeking His desires but our own....

Its time to clean out the closets, dust off the corners... also , we need to remember the message of the cross for it is the power of God !!

Music pick for the week : "Once Again" by Matt Redman

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again
I'm in that place once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again
I'm full of praise once again

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my Friend

God Bless
