Unlimited Power
. . . that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but
in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:5
For thousands of years, man relied on burning wood for
energy, then coal, followed by petroleum. But today's scientists are
experimenting with multiple sources to power our world: solar, wind, hydrogen,
algae, methane gas, ocean currents, geothermal, ethanol and other biofuels --
the search for energy and power is progressing nonstop around the world.
It is ironic that the scientific community mostly ignores
the greatest source of power in the universe: the power of God. The apostle
Paul wrote that "in [Christ] all things consist" (Colossians 1:17).
That is, it is Christ who holds the entire universe together by His power! How
much good would a new power source be in a world that literally came apart at
the seams? How much more guidance might we receive about finding and using
energy in this world if we asked the One who holds the world together for
guidance?
Christians must continually remind themselves -- we do not
live by the wisdom of men but by the power of God (1 Corinthians 2:5). We are
"kept by the power of God" until the end is revealed (1 Peter 1:5).
I hold one single sentence out of God's Word to be of more
certainty, and of more power, than all the discoveries of all the learned men
of all the ages.
Charles H. Spurgeon
