Some of us are born to sleep, others are born to burn out. For the last several years I have been plagued by a decreasing tolerance for the waking state. From age 8 or 9 I can recall staying up late to watch TV. I have always loved the night (not darkness mind you.)
In my rush to get this site up and running, I found sleep between the hours of 4:20 am and 6:45 am PST. And arrived at work 27 miles through traffic, at 8:30am.
It hurts! Right now I am thinking about a short article on the virtue which is mentioned in relation to Christ. From the KJV the following verses are the most notable for translation:
Mark 5:30
Luke 6:19
Luke 8:46
I leave it to you to look them up! I did! (just added the Scripturizer plugin sweet!!)
The Greek here is indicative of power and ability, in terms of spiritual strength. Some of the alternate renderings of the word are “mighty works,” “the power,” and from Acts 8:13 “the miracles.”
Think about Luke 6:19
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
I could sure use a dose of that right now. He carries us every step of the way. Bearing us up upon eagles wings. I’ll think about this a bit more and get back to it. Please let me know if you are finding any problems with the site. I want things to work for all!
Blessings!
