What's Your Power Source??

 Our pastors wife preached a sermon last week on this subject. Where do you get your power? And what is the source of that power? She was talking about being exhausted and just couldn't keep up with the hectic life that had been transpiring with her and her family. How many of us can claim the same thing? We are worn out, exhausted and just plain done. We have come to the end our physical energy. We have nothing left in the tank to give! With the pandemic still wearing on us. Mask on, mask off. School. Go in person or attend online. Shopping with shelves empty. Prices on everything rising. Determining if we really need that, or can it wait. Trying to navigate this new "normal" for our families and lives. It is exhausting!

Like she pointed out, most of us are worn out because we are trying to do it ourselves. We know God and trust Him, but we leave Him in behind. As if to say "it's alright Lord, I got this." God's like "oh really??" "Do you now!"

Proverbs 3:5 Amplified Bible

5 Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

We are still human and sometimes we still put our trust in people. How many times has someone let you down? To many times to count I am sure. Yet we still rely on people all the time. We rely on family, friends, co-workers and in some instances the government. And they have all let us down at sometime or another. 

Micah 7:5 New International Version

5 Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend.

We need to stop saying to ourselves that we can do it on our own. It has been proven time and time again that we can't. We need to get back to the source of our energy, JESUS! Plug into Him and let Him power us.

Ephesians 6:10 Amplified Bible

10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might.

So I encourage you. No matter how tired, worn out and exhausted you are. Give it to Jesus. Our eternal power source.

Matthew 11:28 Living Bible

28 Come to me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke. 

Go to Jesus and rest in His ever loving arms! Have Him renew your strength.

God bless!
