The Gospel Is The Power Of God

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:6 (KJV) 

  

  Placing your focus upon the Good News of Jesus Christ must be your first priority when you feel yourself growing weak spiritually. The Bible brings us the teachings and thoughts of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has literally put the power of God into written and spoken words that come from the Bible. It is not a mystery where the Christian must go when thirsting for the power of God. 

  The Bible, imbued by Holy Spirit power, affects our mind and spirit as we drink from its well. We need the power of God. 

  Prayer is a wonderful habit that brings huge blessings, and it is good to pray when we are in trouble. Yet I have a concern that Bible reading is too often neglected by the Christian in need. I know this can be an issue because when I am exhausted it is easy to neglect the word of God, but that is a terrible mistake to make. There are audio Bibles, and smart phone Bible applications that can make it easier to access the word of God. You need only close your eyes and listen to an audio version of the Bible to be strengthened by the Word. 

  If you need power, if your spiritual strength is low, you need God’s word. The Gospel feeds our faith, drives away fear, lifts our mind from dark thoughts into the light of His glorious presence through the Holy Scripture. There is great power in the word of God. 

  The enemy will try to distract us in numerous ways, but one of the biggest mistakes we can make is allowing our sword, the Bible, to be far from us and neglect its precious pages. You are unarmed for the fight with the enemy of your soul if you are without the Word of God. The Gospel is the Power of God! 

  Prayer: Dear Lord, forgive us for the times we have neglected Your Word. Keep us always hungry and thirsty for the Holy Scripture. It is both our power and the Good News that gives us Your precious promises. Amen.
