Anchoring Faith on the Power, Not Wisdom

and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4, 5 NASB)

[O] The phrase, "but in the power of God" spoke loudly today because no matter what happens in my life my faith must not deviate from becoming the billboard for God's power (and not about my own performance).

[A] Wow. As our family is currently faced with a crisis I'm struggling to understand how I can still do this when I'm easily focused on finding a solution first. My mind agrees here but following through is challenging.

[P] Dear God of the universe, teach me to surrender my circumstances into Your hands so that Your power of resurrection is the only one projecting out of our family. Sprinkle a bit of Your strengths for us while you're at it, too, as I cry out to in Your Son's name.
