Recently, there’s been a few places that have lost power in my area.  A friend woke up to no power in her house and had the challenge of showering and getting ready for work with no lights.  Another friend lost power in the evening, with guests coming the next day.  Her family did their best to clean the house by flashlight, which worked until they got the sweeper out.  Trying to catch up at work on a Saturday doesn’t work either when the power is out and you can’t get in the building.  No electricity means the electronic sensor has no chance of working.  All of us are accustomed to having power in our lives when we need it.

Where can we get power to face the constant challenges we meet each day?  Where can we go to get more strength? If we ask, God will give it to us.  “But you Lord, do not be far from me.  You are my strength, come quickly to help me.” (Psalm 22:19) So if your day starts a little dark, look towards the light.  From Isaiah 33:2, “Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you.  Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.” Isn’t it amazing that we have the ear of the Creator of the Universe AND He is standing ready to help? “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) In essence, the solution to our trials is simple.  Need more power? Go straight to the Source.
