Years ago on a television talk-show, a guest appeared that was a body builder. As he entered the stage with his huge muscular body the crowd went crazy as the body builder began to flex his muscles and show his power. The first question asked of him was this: “What do you use all those muscles for?” Without answering, the body builder again stood up and began flexing his muscles while the crowd cheered wildly.
A second time, the question was asked, “What do you do with those muscles?” Again, the body builder flexed his muscles and the crowd became almost ecstatic. After asking three times, “What do you do with all those muscles?” the body builder just sat in silence and had no answers. The man was all power but his power had no purpose other than to show off and bring attention to himself.
Now don’t get me wrong, I believe we all ought to be fit. I admire many people with the self-discipline to maintain a fit physique. However, the question still deserves to be answered, “What are you doing with all of those muscles? What are you doing with all of that power?
There are many Christians that are the same way. Many pride themselves in being spirit-filled and full of the power of the Holy Spirit. But my question is the same, “What are you doing with all of that power?”
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The word of the day is power. God gave us power to be witnesses. What kind of witness will you be today?
