God’s Power Upon Us

How much power do you have? How much power would you like? How much power does God possess and allow to rest upon you?

God’s presence and power is with us and rests upon us.

In his letter to the Church in Corinth, the Apostle Paul wrote, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

God’s grace and presence with us is sufficient for all our needs. When we are weak, then God is strong in us. We have the power of God resting upon us as followers of Jesus.

We can be of great courage and we can celebrate the presence and the power of God that we have, even in our weaknesses. God’s power is upon us.

May we be encouraged in the presence and in the power of God, even in our weakness.

A Collect For The Fourth Sunday in Advent (O Clavis David / O Key of David): “Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and as we are sorely hindered by our sins from running the race that is set before us, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book Of Common Prayer, 2019).
