Lord, we come to You in weakness. You come to us in power. Our faith is
weak. Your power is great. What is our faith? It is faith in Your power
– the power of Your love. It’s not faith in ourselves. It’s faith in
You. You are our God. We put our trust in You. May we know, in our
hearts, that You are absolutely trustworthy – the God who will never
fail us.
"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.
