There I was, standing in line at the local Wal-mart when it happened. Darkness! All the lights went out, and for a moment, the entire store was enveloped in black. The safety lights kicked on within a few seconds, but the lights remained off throughout my entire transaction. (Oddly enough, the cash registers still worked fine during the power outage.
It was a bit of an eerie feeling to walk towards the door with my cart full of items. It all seemed rather surreal.
As I was reflecting on my way home, I thought about how important lights at night are to us, and how our lives would change dramatically without them. Where would our lives be without the electricity that powers our lights, our heating systems, and our appliances. In fact, without it, I wouldn't be writing this e-Devotional, and you wouldn't be reading it.
Electrical power is an amazing thing. It allows us to do what would be impossible if we didn't have it. The same is true of the power of God! With it, we have more possibilities that open up to us in life than ever before. Without it, we merely stumble around in spiritual darkness, wondering where life will finally take us.
Are you allowing God's power to bring possibilities into your life today? It begins right here.
