The Power of God Bible in a Year: Ezra 9–10 Acts 1 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2 Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 121 Rebecca and Russell’s doctors told them they couldn’t have . But God had other ideas—and ten years later Rebecca conceived. The pregnancy was a healthy one; and when the contractions started, the couple excitedly rushed to the hospital. Yet the hours of labor grew long and more intense, and Rebecca’s body still wasn’t progressing enough for delivery. Finally, the doctor decided she needed to perform an emergency C-section. Fearful, Rebecca sobbed for her baby and herself. The doctor calmly assured her, saying, “I will do my best, but we’re going to pray to God because He can do more.” She prayed with Rebecca, and fifteen minutes later, Bruce, a healthy baby boy, was born. That doctor understood her dependence on God and His power. She recognized that although she had the training and skill to do the surgery, she still needed God’s wisdom, strength, and help to guide her hands (Psalm 121:1–2). It’s encouraging to hear about highly skilled people, or of anyone, who recognize they need Him—because, honestly, we all do. He’s God; we’re not. He alone “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). Let’s have a humble heart to learn from Him and to trust Him in prayer “because He can do more” than we ever could. Reflect & Pray How have you gained an understanding of your own need for God and His power? How is this dependence seen in your daily life? I need You and Your wisdom and power, God, for decisions, skill, work, relationships—all of my life.

Joe and I do understand our need of the Lord and His power, every day of our lives. We have also been blessed to have doctors who understand their limitations and that there comes a time when only God's power can explain things, like even the fact that Joe is still alive. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
