| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “God’s power for you and in you” Our Bible verse for today: “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you.” Romans 8:11 (CSB) Our thought for today: “The same power is at work in your life” This morning, let’s continue our thinking from yesterday about the reality of God’s power applied to your life. What kind of power is it and what are the implications for you? In Romans 8:11 Paul tells us that the same power God used to raise Jesus from the dead is now residing inside of you. It is a power that will bring spiritual life now within your physical body, and physical life for all eternity to your spirit. Spiritual life to your physical body and physical life to your eternal spirit. In the first two devotionals in this series, we saw examples of God’s awesome power displayed in creation. Yesterday we saw how He used that same power to defeat the enemies of His people and to bring His people out of captivity and into freedom. Now, here in Romans 8:11, Paul explains that that same awesome power of God also raised Jesus from the dead and, that power also lives within us giving us new life now and eternal life forever. The Holy Spirit moved Paul to tell us that for a reason. It’s because He wants us to understand how awesome the power of God is, and then to appreciate what the application of that power in our own lives has the potential to accomplish. In other places in the Bible (as we will learn throughout this month), we are taught how to access the power of God so that His power can be applied and His will can be accomplished in us and through us. It’s unlikely that the power of God manifested in you or for you will result in the parting of seas, the moving of mountains, or raising the dead. But you will experience it in many other ways, and the starting place is to simply believe that God’s power is there for you. Paul wrote it because it’s true: the same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides within you, and God is ready to use it for you.
