A Short in the Circuit

“Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time.” – 1 Peter 1:5

I connected my powerless iPhone to the charger and plugged it into the wall socket today around 3PM. I returned an hour later… no juice. I disconnected and re-connected the phone from the charger. Nothing. I unplugged and re-plugged the charger from the socket. Still nothing. I then disconnected the phone and plugged it into another charger. Aha!

A Short in the Circuit…

There was power to be had on the other end of the wall socket, I just couldn’t access it because I was attempting to access it through a broken circuit. And so it is with our faith. There is ‘keeping power’ available and accessible to every Blood bought, born again child of God (and saving power, delivering power, sanctifying power, etc etc), yet many Christians today are struggling, failing, wandering, drifting, and ultimately falling away from the faith altogether because they have ‘plugged’ their faith into a broken circuit, attempting to access God’s power through man’s wisdom. Please understand, the Cross of Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:18; 1:21), and it is [through] our faith being rightly connected to Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross that we receive *grace* to stay on this narrow path ‘…unto the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.’ Plug into the Source and stay the course. We’re almost Home.
