Billy Graham Devotional 26 June 2019 – Energy Under Control
Topic: Energy Under Control
Scripture: You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you . . . — Romans 8:9 (TLB)
Message: A harnessed horse contributes much more to life than a wild donkey. Energy out of control is dangerous; energy under control is powerful. God does not discipline us to subdue us, but to condition us for a life of usefulness and blessedness. In His wisdom He knows that an uncontrolled life is an unhappy life, so He puts reins on our wayward souls that they may be directed into the “paths of righteousness.”
Billy Graham Devotional 26 June 2019 – Energy Under Control
That is what God seeks to do with us; to tame us, to bring us under proper control, to redirect our energies. He does in the spiritual realm what science does in the physical realm. Science takes a Niagara River with its violent turbulence and transforms it into electrical energy to illuminate a million homes and to turn the productive wheels of industry.
Prayer for the day:
Direct all my energy, Father, so that I may be a blessing to others.
