Acts 19:13-41
Do your ever trivialize God? Do you ever forget his true power, greatness, and glory? Many in our culture minimize God by using his name in vain or thinking of him as simply some distant, unconcerned deity, if he even exists. It is critical that we always remember God’s power and that he is not to be used for our own purposes.
The seven sons of Sceva loved to impersonate the apostles by running around and throwing out the name of Jesus. They were essentially playacting as apostles when they did not even know Jesus personally. One day their acting took a drastic turn. The demons they were trying to cast out suddenly beat them up and sent them home bloodied and naked. They realized that day, that Jesus was not to be underestimated. Instead, he is to be respected, loved, worshiped, and even feared.
We must retain these responses as well. We are blessed to have a personal relationship with Christ but must always remember that he is the all-powerful God of the universe. Therefore, he is to be glorified and served with every opportunity we have.
Father God, help me always remember who you are. Thank you that through Christ and your Spirit I can draw near to you, but enable me to always remember your power and glory. Amen.
How should remembering the power and glory of God affect the way you live?
