If we Christians want God’s power working in us, we must spend time daily in the Word of God. We must also pray.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, . . .
God’s Word and prayer go together (Acts 6:4). The Holy Spirit is closely related to the practice of prayer in our lives (Rom. 8:26-27).
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
There’s nothing impossible with God. Nothing. Study the Word. Pray and submit to His will. Then stand back and see the “Glory of God”.

Day By Day Faith
God gives us the strength we need according to our daily requirements. We mustn’t make the mistake of trying to “store up grace” for future emergencies, because God gives us the grace we need when we need it. Nobody, no matter how wealthy or gifted, can live two days at a time.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
When we learn to live a day at a time, confident of God’s care, it takes a great deal of pressure off our lives.
Of itself, suffering won’t make us holier men and women. Unless we yield to the Lord, turn to His Word, and trust Him to work in our lives, our suffering could make us bitter. We need that “spirit of faith”.

Amazing God
Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Has a gospel song ever blessed you so that you play it again and again to town and back? I heard “AMAZING GOD” at a gospel concert last Saturday, and I’d like to share the blessing. The Triumphant Quartet sings it on U-Tube. They are pretty good singers. Here’s the words:
You want to hear the story. . . of how I’ve make it through when life is full of trouble, pain and fear?
The answer may sound simple: Though everything else crumbles,
One thing has remained through all the years.
CHORUS
I still serve. . . an Amazing God. . . He’s been with me every mile my weary feet have trod.
He still cares. . . He still hears, He’s still mending broken hearts and drying tears.
This old world. . . is bound to change, But I’m glad I know the One who always stays the same,
And my song will ever be, Amazing God, you’re still amazing me.
The God who parted waters still makes a way today. He’s always brought me through the troubled seas.
The One who fed the thousands, Who’s word could calm the tempest,
He’s my bread of life, and He’s my peace.
CHORUS

Knowing God And The Hope Of His Calling
Ephesians 1:17-18 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Since we are made in the image of God, the better we know Him, the better we know ourselves and each other.
It’s not enough to know Him only as Savior. We must get to know Him as Father, Friend, and Guide. The better we know Him, the more satisfying our spiritual lives will be.
The hope that belongs to our calling should be a dynamic force in our lives, encouraging us to be pure, obedient, and faithful.
The fact that we shall one day see Christ and be like Him should motivate us to live like Christ today.
