A thought...or two

If you were asked to describe God, how would you define Him?
(While there is technically a right and wrong answer here, I just want you to be honest even if it's not completely accurate.)

Do you believe in God? Have you accepted His salvation? Do you understand that the cross and His death on it were/are for you?
Now I want you to think about this picture of God and the power of His redemption. If you have accepted the gift and grace of His salvation, this God-the One True God (no matter how messed up your description) lives in you. His power that raised Jesus from the tomb is in you.
IN YOU!!!!
What are you going to do with that revelation or reminder? Are you going to continue to pray and then not expect an answer, are you going to live in defeat and fear, or are you going to live confidently in the power of God, knowing that He is sovereign? Will your life be changed by the Holy Spirit's power in your life? How will other's see that difference?
(We are not saved by works, but we are saved FOR works-so living a power-filled life should be evident to the world around you.)
