We all want power. We want power because we know, inherently and intuitively, we are powerless. We are powerless over our certain death and powerless over the certain death of others. We are powerless over the earth and the earth's mighty oceans. We are powerless over vast weather systems, earthquakes, and volcanoes. We want personal power to bolster our sense of pride and ego. We want Holy Spirit power to make a show for God so others will notice us or to solve our own selfish problems. We want healing power to heal ourselves of physical infirmities. We want power over pain so the pain does not impact our life and we can go on and do our own selfish thing in life. We want power over opponents so they will not bother us or so we can profit from their powerlessness. We all want power. However, power is not the way of God. The way of God is surrender, unselfish sacrifice, humility, and absolute contrition.
