Looking out across the landscape of the modern era it’s quite easy to detect the abuse of power and strength in many facets of life! Political, religious, business, and relationships are just a few amongst a myriad of other facets that have been plagued by this misappropriation of power and strength! The attitude is “I will because I can” which is an attitude that clokes the real truth of estrangement from real power and strength that such victims so cleverly hide! More ominously, these victims also seem to project this pseudo sense of power and strength upon others they view as inferior when in reality (with a keen sense of discernment) we can detect that they are really projecting upon others their insecurity and estrangement from who they really could be if they allowed themselves to be harnessed and eternally strengthened with absolute power and strength that originates from the only true source of lasting power and strength, the Spirit of God! We, as created beings in the image and likeness of God, can never find the true source of lasting power and strength until we allow the Spirit of God to harness and also direct our estranged hearts into this everlasting source (the true meaning of “Divine Providence”) apart and exclusive from our own ambition! Our true and powerful selves can only emerge as we fully immerse ourselves in this deeply penetrating process which will lead us to the greatest revelation of our personal existence; namely that we can exhibit true strength and power without harming and destroying everyone else in the process of natural and spiritual order and simultaneously use our strength and power to build ourselves and also others in our ambit of influence!
