Resurrection Power~

Good afternoon:)
Interesting fact of the day based on an article in Sunday's paper: Rats are becoming increasingly popular as pets because they enjoy being tickled and they can laugh, albeit at frequencies we can't hear. They even play peekaboo with their owners. Sorry, people, but all of the above freaks me out! Proceed at your own risk:)
Ephesians 1:18-21
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you and the glorious wealth that God's people will inherit, and
v.19 His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength v.20 He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms..
I misstated something yesterday. These verses are not about awesome pairings but triple whammies--BAM! BAM! BAM! And I am not talking about the Three Little Pigs, Peter, Paul, and Mary or rock, paper, scissors. This is about Hope, Riches, and Power.
Just what kind of power are we talking about?
RESURRECTION POWER
This is the kind of power that brings new life to preciously dead situations. Rather than list them here, ask yourself what areas of your life need a do-over. What situation are you facing right now that needs renewal, restoration, and revival? Where do you need to see God raise something from the dead and make it heavenly?
Have joy today, dear one, our God is able and willing. It all starts with...
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, Thank You that You exert mighty strength on our behalf when we need a resurrection of our own. Bring renewal, restoration, and revival to (fill in the blank). Praise You for Your incomparably great power. In Jesus' name, AMEN!
