How do you handle power and authority?
Power and authority are a privilege, and if they are not used with care and consideration, it can be dangerous. Job struggled with God's power and authority, because he did not know the full extent of what God could do (see Job 42:1-6); and neither could I, until He broke me. My mistake was trying to do everything on my own and not asking Him for help. I paid dearly with a broken heart; and while broken, I, too, learned of His immense power and authority, and have repented many times since for taking Him for granted.
No one has the power that God does, as "all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). But you can side with Him; and He will give you whatever you need to tackle and face, because even the biggest creatures, like Leviathan (see Job 41), are no match for God. The power and authority are all His.
So, if you have any power or authority, may you use it in such a way that it honors, respects, and, most importantly, involves God. #UseWisely #Responsibly & #Humbly
