Sometimes we ask: God is your power?
Jesus’ power is at work you
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
Jesus’ power is at work you
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Jesus’ power is at work you
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NLT)
