The Power of God
There’s no need for explanation. None. When a life has been redeemed and surrender has happened. There is no need to explain and justify and rationalize. None at all.
Because the power of Redemption in a life is not the eloquent speech proclaimed, not the cleaned-up behaviour achieved, not the success seen and credit given. Not at all!
Redemption needs no highlights! Redemption is the power of God for the salvation of those who would believe (Romans 1:16). Period. The power of God, not man.
And a life that has been redeemed shows the evidence of the power of God.
That’s what surrender is. And weakness and humility. That’s what softness and gentleness, and peace and rest, all are. Evidence of Redemption, the power of God. Oh, it’s true! The power of God, made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) is a redeeming work, every time. And surrender is the very evidence.
Because it is all about God, the eternal, invisible One!
“On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.” (Psalm 62:7) !!
