Monday, February 22, 2021 - Lent Day 5
More love, more power,
More of You in my life.
More love, more power,
More of You in my life.
And I will worship You
With all of my heart.
And I will worship You
With all of my mind.
And I will worship You
With all of my strength.
For You are my Lord,
You are my Lord.
“Seek The Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually.”
When you run out of energy, what helps you get re-energized? When you grow tired in spirit or in your faith, what renews you? Feeling empty of power is one thing; not knowing where to find more power can leave us feeling beaten down.
Jesus' parable of the mustard seed tells us if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you have enough faith, you have enough faith to see and to do great things, to see and do the great things of God, to see you have power in grace alone.
'Seeking The Lord' is having enough faith and power to know where to look for more power. 'Seeking The Lord' is having enough faith and power to long to trust Jesus is with you, to know and to believe you have more than enough power in grace alone. 'Seeking The Lord' is having enough faith and power to believe you will run out of power if left on your own; you need his power and presence continually or your power will dry up. 'Seek The Lord' and live in the power of grace alone!
Let us pray: Jesus, today I call on your power alone. Believing, trusting, following, serving, surrendering, takes energy and power; and yet, you will never let my spirit dry up, and you will never allow me to become powerless. I seek you, my Lord and my God. I seek you and your presence and power continually. Fill me with more love, more power, more of you in my life, and I will have more than enough, as I live in your grace alone. In Jesus' name alone, I pray. Amen.
