Know the Power

I want to know Christ & the power of His resurrection & the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, & so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.  (Phillipians 3:10 NIV)

As Christians, I think we often underestimate the power that we have available to us.  We have the same power as was used to raise Christ from the dead.  I think we have not even come close to seeing what God can do through us if we would only let that power work through us.  I think part of the reason for that is when struggles & difficulties come we give up too soon.  God uses those struggles to grow us, refine us, & to make us more fruitful for Him.  We have to remember that as we go through those struggles, we still have that same power available to us.  Instead of being defeated & turning back too soon, we need to access that power that comes from Almighty God & move those mountains.  There will be struggles in life but God promises to use them for our good.  So when they come, stay faithful & use the power & watch what God does with you.
