Colossians 1:29 AMP
"For this I labor [unto weariness], striving with all the superhuman energy which He so mightliy enkindles and works within me."
Wow, huh? Think about it. "...striving with all the superhuman energy whuich He so mightily enkindles and works within me."
All the superhuman energy within me. The Holy Spirit and His power which is in us. Striving in accordance with the Holy Spirit.
Last summer I learned what it was like to strive with all of my own energy on a certain hike while working at Summit Adventure. The only thing that was holding me back was the pain from the scar tissue in my lung from when it collapsed when I was born. I was really going, and I felt like I could have gone on forever.
As human beings, as created, we are strong. Very strong. Though, even though I felt like I could have gone on forever, I would have had to stop eventually. Because as strong as I am, the physical part of me still requires food and water to survive.
But we are neat little packages aren't we. Created in the image of the Godhead. Genesis 1:26 That's gotta be the all time coolest thing ever. In His image. But think about it. As strong as we are, we are nothing compared to God. He is omnipotent, (all powerful), and He is in us. Think about that. And think about what Paul said in Colossians. "Striving with all the superhuman energy" If that doesn't blow you away, meditate on it until it does. I mean, I'm young yet, and I don't know really what it means in its entirety. But even what I can understand with the eternal power of God and His great love for all people, the power of the Holy Spirit is with me. And I want to strive with Him for His work in His strength. With Him, I will go on forever.
God is good. All the time. Selah.
