The world has had electricity for some time now. Soon we’ll be plugging everything in, including our cars, our bodies, technology and artificial intelligence. Power comes from somewhere. Many things are used to create it – things like oil, coal and other natural resources. As Ben Franklin was flying his kite one day, he was in for a big shock. Harnessing that power was another thing altogether. Names like Westinghouse and Tesla come to mind.

I’m not an expert on electricity. I’m not an expert on much, but I do know it’s unwise to plug a hair dryer in while you’re in the bathtub. I know I’ll get a shock in the winter when the heat turns on and the air is dryer. I know that static electricity makes my hair do weird things. Most of us, unless we’re electrical engineers, don’t know what makes electricity happen. We know how to use it, but we don’t know all the ins and outs of it. I wonder about stuff like plugging in a car to an electrical outlet and how long that car will stay charged. I get confused when I think about how long that power source will last. I wonder if we’re just exchanging one thing for another to alter our environment. I wonder if somewhere down the road the power will eventually dry up and there will be no more. I wonder why I wonder about such things.

When I think about how this world was created in the first place, there must’ve been all kinds of signs pointing to an amazing amount of power. It’s from that source that all things were created in six days. Impossible? Nothing is impossible with God. What is your power source? Do you rely on scientists and experts to figure things out for you? Do you trust their judgement? Do you take advantage of all the power that’s available to each of us today? Are you dependent on that power to make it through each day? With God as your source of power, you are placing complete trust in Him alone to give you the strength to get through anything. You can plug into Him anytime, night or day. You really don’t even need to plug Him in – He’s there right now, with you. Each day, I’m learning to depend on His power. With each trial, I know that I’m not alone. With every challenge, I know my strength will come from Him. Who needs electricity when you have access to the greatest power source ever?
