There are many different forms of power.  I find that I function best when I am connected to the ultimate source of power.  When I am charging through my connection to God my power supply is steady and reliable.  When I am charging to my ego, I find that my powerdepletes much quicker.  It is not an inadequate source of power but rather a limited source. The reason I often choose my ego as my power source is because I think that the greatest source of power does not carry that electrical current.  I figure I know best what God can and cannot deal with. I also will choose my ego because I have not experienced connecting to God with that part of my life.  I used to think that God was only concerned with the “big” stuff of life–life and death, big decisions regarding career and family, making big purchases, etc. But many years ago I turned to God when I was buying a pair of sneakers.  I couldn’t decide if I should purchase them or not because they were a bit more than I was used to spending, so I said a surrender prayer I had learned: “God if you want me to buy the sneakers, let me buy the sneakers. If you don’t want me to buy the sneakers, don’t let me buy the sneakers.  Remove from me my will, place in me your will.  Give me the power and the courage to carry it out.”  I paused, took a breath, and got the sense to buy the sneakers.  Those sneakers served me very well and lasted quite a while.  It seems silly but what I learned in that moment is that God is concerned with every single part of my life and wants to be the power source through which I am charged.  God created every little cell and atom in me, why wouldn’t God want to be involved in every part of my life?  My prayer for us today is that as we go through the day we stop and check in with ourselves to notice from where we are drawing our power.  Make it a great one!
