My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

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
