Make The Connection

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen . . . even His eternal power and Godhead.

Romans 1:20

In a seminary missions class, Herbert Jackson told about a car he was given as a new missionary. Because the car would not start without a push, for two years he made a habit of always parking on a hill—or just leaving the car running. When he left that mission assignment, he passed the car on to his replacement. Curious about the starting problem, the new missionary raised the hood, twisted a wire, turned the key, and the car roared to life!

Failing to take advantage of a car’s power for two years is bad enough, but not nearly as bad as living a lifetime without God’s power. Look at the evidences of God’s power all around us. From the countless galaxies in the universe to the tiniest atoms of which they are made, from the marvelous complexity of the human body to the stunning simplicity of a one-cell bacterium, from the grandeur of the Himalayas to the mysteries of the ocean floor—God’s power is clearly seen wherever we look. Are you connected to God as your power source, or do you need a push just to get started every day?

Don’t let a loose connection with God leave you powerless in this life.
