FAITH AND POWER

Acts 6:8 (NKJV) 8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
   A little fellow walking home from school found himself surrounded by bullies, they taunted him and eventually made him cry. At home his father asked, "How was school," the little boy replied, "Just like work no body likes me." The father had unknowingly built into his son a bitter spirit, both were unhappy with their environment.
   Stephen is a servant of God, his obedience to Jesus Christ has incurred the wrath of those who follow the god of their choosing. However, this servant has the right relationship to the Creator, he has trusted Jesus the Messiah to live in him and through him to reach the world. Fear of others and fear of circumstances does not hinder him from telling the story of salvation, why because he is full of the faith and power that comes from above.
    Have you trusted Him with your whole being, then you too have great faith and power by which to live. Let God be in you what you could never be without Him, full of Faith and Power.
Heavenly Father may we look to you when things seem hard, may we look up when everything is dark, may reach out when the world brings hate, may we live for You in Faith and Power. Amen
