Power

MY QUESTION for GOD

Can power be dangerous?

A MOMENT with GOD

Let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous.

Genesis 11:4

O Egypt, to which of the trees of Eden will you compare your strength and glory? You, too, will be brought down to the depths with all these other nations. You will lie there among the outcasts who have died by the sword. This will be the fate of Pharaoh and all his hordes. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!

Ezekiel 31:18

Power is intoxicating—with it comes recognition, control, and often wealth. These feed pride, and pride leads you away from God and into sin. This is why power so often corrupts. If you are in a position of power or authority, two things will help you use it wisely: accountability and service. When you have to explain your motives to others, you will be more careful about what you do and say. When you determine to serve others with your power rather than be served, you will gain great support and loyalty from those in your care.

DIVINE PROMISE

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God.

2 Corinthians 3:5
