One day recently, my youngest son saw a man getting out of his truck and was amazed at the "new" and "cool" thing he saw in the man's truck. He said he had a "cool" handle in the door of his truck that he could turn and the truck window would go up or down. I laughed so hard, as I realized my son had never been in a vehicle that did not have power windows.

My son is so accustomed to having power windows that he did not know how to live without it. I hope that as a he grows up, he will grow just as accustomed to the power of God in his life that he will not know how to live without it. May he always recognize the power of our living God at work in him and around him, and may he always live in the fullness of that power.

I also hope that every believer who has experienced the greatness of the power of God, would also live in the power of the Lord and never attempt to live in our own power. May it surprise us to see someone attempting to live without that power and may we always be grateful for the difference God's power makes in our lives each day.
