Power of the Word

As I sit in this grungy office of my dad's metal fabrication shop answering phones while reading blogs of some of the coolest people on the face of the planet, I truly feel empowered by the awesomeness of God. After last week at the Gauntlet, I'm still on a spiritual high from witnessing the salvation and baptism of so many young people. I pray that I never come down. In this moment of passion and amazement I cannot help but cry out to Jesus and thank him for his glory and splendor; even though I'm here at work surrounded by fervent non-believers who bash my beliefs and my passion for Christ every chance they get. Sadly the large percentage of these individuals are men in my family. However, because of this fire God has stoked in my heart I am prepared to let go and let God fight this battle today. My prayer is that any words that come from my mouth today would be straight from God alone, straight from his word. "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 So, as I put on the full armor of God, pray that this battle would be God's alone and that I would be humble enough to set myself aside and allow God to work through me. It's all for his glory. With that, I'm out like the toilet paper in the women's bathroom...which I'm going to fix-right now!
