Power? What Power?

For the past couple weeks I have come to realize that power is a tricky thing. More specifically "electrical power." In our home we have come to realize that a tug-o-war will begin between the living room television and the second floor bathroom "Hair Dryer". It all started one Monday morning on my day off, I was sitting on the couch watching some Today Live- with Kathy & Hoda when I heard my wife enter the bathroom and plug in the hair dryer and "BLOOP!" The T.V. and everything plugged into the outlet just died.

It really makes me think about where power really comes from. I know generators and power plants but I was thinking more about my life. The power to wake up in the morning, to get out of bed, hug my daughter and kiss my wife. What gives us the drive or power to live? and Why for some has that power just turned off like a hair dryer plugged into a bathroom outlet?

I know that there are those that believe in a greater force out there or maybe even those who don't. My personnal belief is that the source of power comes from someone that can generate & supply the power.

If power brings things to life or at least gets them moving, then the power source must be life itself or be able to produce it. In the Bible I believe Job had it right. "The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Job 33:4 This from a man that saw his family crushed by his house and that was just the beggining. He could of easily, "Turned Off" his faith in God but instead he new that True Life comes from God.

Sometimes the power goes out because of pain, depression, hurt and plain old tiredness. But remember that God is both LIFE and POWER and freely gives it to those who ask. Sometimes we just have to ask him to flip the breaker!
