Our culture is continually telling us that we must find ways to feel like we deserve, to feel like we are great and powerful.
The truth is, you can survive a self-help seminar, you can survive walking on hot coals, being boiled alive, and walk out of that seminar weekend feeling like you are the most powerful person in the world, ready to grab life by the tail and tell it where to go, but suddenly you simply fall and your leg is severely broken and you are in bed for 6 months.
God teaches us something completely different when it comes to the path to power in our lives.
What God offers is so much more powerful, so much more freeing, so much more sane.
