What Great Power - Ephesians 1:19
“Life is hard” is one of those obvious statements, you might as well be saying “water is wet!” Trials and difficulties are an inevitable part of all of our lives—that’s just a reality. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that they can often be overwhelming. As we continue our study in the book of Ephesians, we see a beautiful reminder from Paul, that we have an incomparable power available to us as we face these struggles. In Ephesians 1:19, Paul tells us about the surpassing greatness of God’s power that is a present tense power. It’s not a power to distract us from our stuff, but a power that meets us in the middle of our insecurities, shame, anxieties, depression, illnesses, disappointments, hurts and frustrations. It’s the same power that conquered the grave and raised Jesus from the dead.
