God has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I
may see" (Psalm 119:18,11). "May God's blessing surround you each day,
as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and
keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O
Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy
and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
"I am filled with the power of the Lord's Spirit" (Micah 3:8). This is what makes true ministry of God's Word so different from 'prophecy' that doesn't come from the Lord. Without the power of the Lord, there can be no Word from the Lord. We need the Word, and we need the power. "Let's go to the mountain of the Lord ...He will teach us His ways so that we may live by them" (Micah 4:2). We are taught by the Lord so that we might live for Him. Teaching and living - they belong together. We do not learn from God's Word so that we can amass more head-knowledge. We pray for a saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ - a life-changing knowledge that gives us the strength that we need to live for the glory of God.
