Easy Like Sunday Morning

Acts 1:8 says, "But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...". As I was reading this verse today I asked myself, "What am I doing right now that He has not given me POWER, EFFICIENCY and MIGHT to accomplish?"


We can get so busy that we forget the art of waiting on God and taking up His burden. In Matthew 28 verse 30 , Jesus says, "My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne."


We can have challenging circumstances in life where we need to work hard, press in and keep going. However, the issue here is the REST of God, and the peace of God that resides in our hearts.


If we are without those two things, we can do nothing (Jn 15:5).


So today let's ask the Lord to guide us and enable us to live in peace and His mighty power!
