| Living Like God |
|
D: Did you know that today¡¯s Power for Today was written by a former college teacher of mine?
V: Really. Well, he writes some interesting things about ¡°Living Like God.¡±
D: Yes, he does. He says that many people think that when Jesus said, ¡°Whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive¡± is an unlimited promise.
V: Right. There are people that think that God should give them whatever they ask for.
D: The author says that God could make me fly by ¡°flapping my arms¡± like a bird, but He does not.
V: It is God¡¯s will that human beings walk, not fly.
D: The author also says that the ¡°essence¡± or central core of Christianity is trying to be like God.
V: I think he is right. He is also right when he says that since we are ¡°flawed¡± or imperfect humans, it is impossible for us to really be like God.
D: I am afraid so. But here is where the grace of God can help us.
V: How is that?
D: The author says that when we pray we ¡°activate¡± the Spirit of God. And it is the Spirit who helps us in life¡¯s ¡°rough spots¡± or those difficult times in our lives.
V: So, the author is saying that prayer is not for our selfish desires, but really a request for God to ¡°empower¡± our hearts, and to bring Him glory.
D: You said that so well.
V: Well, my children at school are needing me. Have a good one.
D: You too. |
