THE SECURITY OF POWERLESS

According to me, powerless is a paradox. Few of us just plain walking around folk hope to be powerless. The image of being at the mercy of our worst fear springs to mind when we see our self as powerless. Who prays for that?

There's a school of thought that says we get our power back when we throw in with God, but I think that's just an alternative fact...it assures us we can at some point have our own power. To me, that's a shill for self-protection.

When we throw in with God, we get faith upon which we must needs build...every day and every way. Faith in and of itself is not power, nor does it impart power...it imparts reliance on a power greater than, but within, our own self.

Powerless is to be prayed for with a "thank you." Whatever comes into our life...wearing horns and carrying a pitchfork or soaring on the wings of a dove...the only thought we need have is, "This, too, is God's...thank you."

That is to know the security of powerless.

Thank you.
