The Power Of God Upon You

Matthew 16:24-25---Then said, Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

In ways you cannot always know or understand, your choice to follow Jesus and bear His cross was made as part of His work in your life. Each minute you are alive, the hand of God is upon you. When you suffer greatly, when you think you cannot bear His cross anymore, call out to God. Call out to God for He hears you. He will come to your aid. The power of God is upon you this minute. The power of His name on your mind, heart, soul, and lips activates His blessings. The Lord gives you His strength to endure all things in His name. You have been chosen by God to be His special child. You have been selected by God to be His special shining light to the world around you. Obviously, you can turn away from God's presence and defame His choice for your life. However, when you say "Yes" to Christ, the angel warriors are standing guard over you. Even in your darkest hours, God will be with you. The Lord will never desert you.
