The Spirit of Might…The Divine Enabler

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 3:16 KJV

 

The Spirit of Might is the Divine Enabler at work in the Life of Men and Women! This is the mystery that turns all impossibilities to possibilities!

Here is the Divine Gift of God through Mercies, accessible on the platform of His Covenant and in accordance with His words in Psalms 84:11
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Romans 11:29
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Ephesians 3:14-16 KJV

Consider the Birds

Jesus told us that we do not need to be anxious. Specifically, he mentions food, drink, and clothing.

Most of us believe in trusting God. We’re on board with Jesus’ “don’t be anxious” advice here. This will get us through much of life, but when life unravels, it’s impossible not to worry.

If you’re having trouble paying for a vacation, earning a passing grade, or hoping for a promotion, you can take Jesus’ advice easily enough.

But if you’re not sure where you’ll find food, water, or clothing, then things are not okay! This is a desperate situation! Life and death! And yet it is precisely these fundamental elements that Jesus tells us not to worry about.

Why?

Look at the birds, he says. They’re not actively trying to grow their own food, yet God feeds them. So, you don’t need to worry either. 

What is this logic? We see the birds flying around, presumably looking for food. But it’s not at all obvious that God is the one feeding them.

God has taught them to look for food, and—though it isn’t clear to the onlooker—he ensures that they find what they need. It isn’t a dramatic, noticeably miraculous act. But it is God’s daily provision.

The logic here is to go ahead and tell God what you need rather than being anxious about it. Why? Because he cares about our needs, and he hears our prayers. Even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Perhaps you look at your situation and can’t see God working. That’s okay. That’s how it is with the birds as well. But God cares. And he’s working, even when he doesn’t appear to be claiming the credit.

He’s listening. Whatever it is, talk to him about it right now.
