THE PURPOSE of the POWER

ACTS 7:20    “At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child.  For three months he was cared for by his family.

Before you ask....no this is not a picture of Moses as a baby, but rather it is a picture of infantile superman being held up by his father Jarrel before being put into a pod, that would later find itself in a corn field in rural Illinois.   Moses when he was born his FATHER GOD, knew that He had great plans in store for Moses, similar to Jarrel knowing that his son would land in orbit of the yellow sun, which means he'd have unique abilities that would serve him well.     Minutes into the actual movie....you find the toddler version of Superman lifting up a pick up truck and his adopted parents feeling the scripture that " this was no ordinary child."

Believe it or not I've echoed the same words regarding my own children when I've had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of how GOD has uniquely equipped them.  BUT WHY?  Why is one child extremely fast, and another extremely compassionate?  Or one child athletically gifted, while the other is academically gifted?  Moses fetes (the 10 Plagues, parting the Red Sea, delivering God's people, water from a rock, etc) were never about him....they were all so that GOD would be GLORIFIED.  Simply put our powers/gifts are so that HE MAY BE GLORIFIED!    WE ARE ALL GIFTED, some have multiple gifts ( Superman could not just fly, but had superior strength, he could blow and things could freeze, he had laser beam eyes, and was very fast) and some have a few...but at the end of the day...it's about IS HE BEING GLORIFIED through your giftedness....and is the world a better place because of you? 

SUPERMAN's powers were only actualized while in the presence of the YELLOW SUN.   Don't know or haven't discovered your powers?  GET IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SON!  LGLP
