Outside of heaven, the power of God in its highest density is found inside the gospel. This must be so, for the Bible twice describes the gospel as “the power of God.” ( Rom 1:16,1 Cor 1:18) Nothing else in all of Scripture is ever described in this way, except for the Person of Jesus Christ.( 1 Cor 1:24) Such a description indicates that the gospel is not only powerful, but that it is the ultimate entity in which God’s power resides and does its greatest work. Indeed, God’s power is seen in erupting volcanos, in the unimaginably hot boil of our massive sun, and in the lightning speed of a recently discovered star seen streaking through the heavens at 1.5 million miles per hour. Yet in Scripture such wonders are never labeled “the power of God.” How powerful, then, must the gospel be that it would merit such a title! And how great is the salvation it could accomplish in my life, if I would only embrace it by faith (Heb 4:12, Eph 1:18-19) and give it a central place in my thoughts each day!- Milton Vincent ( Gospel Primer)
Overwhelm me with unashamed confidence in your gospel
Anchor my confidence in it as I face impossible situations
Overtake me with incredible hopeful patience for your strong arm to save
Reroute my tendency to gravitate towards the perishing deeming your gospel foolishness
Unveil constantly the endless power of the gospel that saved me, is saving me and continues to save me
Erupt faith that leads to the profiting of my soul every time I hear your gospel
Enlighten my heart daily to encounter the surpassing greatness of your power in my believing you
Excite my heart to encounter you the living Christ
Prayer: Today and in the days to come may I constantly place myself under the waterfall of your gospel to experience its power. May I realize that every trial and temptation seeks to dissuade me or undermine my confidence in the power of the gospel. Today as I scan all my surroundings, and counsel people let me hold on to the power of the gospel.
