Truth to Power

 

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Speak truth to power.

Truth to power. Usually I think of a brave soul confronting a political power, or an employer or someone else who is in a position of power over them. This morning that phrase sank deeper into me.

Truth to power. Speak it out. Confront the dark with the light. Speak to the unseen powers of the enemy. Declare the Lordship of Jesus over all the earth. In every thing. In every one.

Give thanks that in everything, absolutely everything, God is always sovereign.

His ways are not our ways.

He is good. He is just. He is Alpha and Omega. He knows the end from the beginning. We see through a glass darkly. He sees clearly. Always.

When a mistake is made in knitting, everything has to unravel back to the mistake before it can be corrected and made perfect.

God is in the unravelling as well as in the knitting.

Thank you Lord, that I can trust you. In all things. All the time. In the good and the bad, the easy and the hard, you are there. I may not understand, but I trust. I believe: help my unbelief.

I step out in faith, hope and trust today, asking Holy Spirit to fill me again, to replenish my empty tank of gratitude and enable me to fully trust.

I give thanks, and as I do, joy begins to bubble deep within. I see reasons for gratitude everywhere.

All is well. All will be well. Jesus is Lord in everything.
