Reread

When I read the Bible I often read a passage two or three times and ask, "what is this saying?" G. Campbell Morgan was born December 9, 1863. He would read a passage of Scripture 50 times before he preached it. You'll see things you didn't see by doing this. I was just rereading 1 Corinthians 6:12 and saw something I missed. There is that word "power" again. This time it is not referring to God's "power". It is referring to the power of "things". Things can have power over us if we let them. The Bible says, "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any". Now I have to ask myself, "does anything have power over me?" "Is this thing keeping me from doing what God called me to do?"
