Without Power

We recently had a power outage at my place, but honestly, it wan't a big deal. We were still able to use our battery-powered devices to get around and even communicate with others. Granted, our batteries weren't going to last forever without power, but they were still very helpful for the time being.

Similarly, we can, at times, draw power from God. But at times when God's power and guidance aren't forthcoming, that's when He trusts us to get by on our own. Naturally, we won't be able to get by on our own forever, but we may be more capable than we realize, and God wants us to grow independent. We still need God, but I imagine that won't be true forever. When we have worlds of our own, we'll likely have to get by on our own power. Perhaps having to get by on our own down here is practice for that.

I'm grateful that we usually have access to God's guidance and power, but in another way, I think I'm also grateful that God sometimes trusts us to be able to get by without it.
