My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Out of power - Hebrews 1-4
We live on a boat with shore power. If we lose shore power or out on the lake on the anchor, we have a big generator that kicks in. There is nothing like being out on the anchor with full power. You never want to be out of power. Power is a great. Unless, of course, power is used against you. When someone wheels their power against you there is a lot of pain and suffering. Power over you is bad - power for you is good. That is the concept in Hebrews. We are learning from the writer about the supremacy of Christ (Hebrews 2:14). In particular about the supremacy of Christ and how it enables us to live victoriously. In chapter two we read that Christ rendered the devil - powerless. He took the power that Satan has over us. We don't live that way but, never-the-less, it si true. We are no longer subject to his domain. Paul wrote this same concept in Romans 6-8. We are set free from Satan's power. We have a power outage in regard to Satan. It is great to know that we can live under the power of God rather than the power of him
