Go For It!

From the classic bestseller devotional God's Best for My Life, by Lloyd John Ogilvie:

'There are three ways to live. The first is to do our will on our power. That's humanism. The second is to do our will on Christ's power. That's religion. The third is to do Christ's will with Christ's power. That's the abundant life.

Ephesians 5:18 >>  "...Be filled with the Spirit."

...launch out into the adventure of the abundant life...Each new possibility or problem presents us with an opportunity to be given fresh power for the immediate situation, circumstance, or relationship.

Today each of us faces tasks which are beyond us. We wonder how we can take what will be thrown to or at us. Don't worry! The Lord never gives us more than He can handle. Our only concern is to find out what He guides and then to step out daringly, knowing that we will have the power we need. He will give us intellectual insight, the right words to say, and the will to do His will. We need not be afraid.

Our confidence is not that the Lord has joined our team, but that we have joined His.'   [reflect upon this subtle but critical point!]

Winners are filled with the Spirit!
