You Have More Than You Think

Devotional:
Have you ever had access to something powerful and not fully realized it? Maybe someone handed you the keys to something significant and you treated it like it was no big deal.

That is exactly what happens with many believers. God has given us real, genuine authority through our relationship with Jesus Christ. Not because of our personality. Not because of our title or our track record. Simply because of who He is and what He has done.

Think about it this way. If someone gave you access to their bank account, you did not earn that money. You did not work for it. But you still have full access to it. That is a picture of what Jesus has done for us. His power, His authority, His victory. All of it is available to us through Him.

The problem is that many of us are walking around like we have nothing, when in reality we have been given everything we need to face what is in front of us. We feel overwhelmed, outmatched, and exhausted. But that is not the truth of who we are in Christ.

You are not powerless. You are not defeated. You are a child of God, and He has given you access to something far greater than anything you are facing today. Start there. Believe that. Let it change how you see yourself and how you approach your day.

Bible Verse:
"I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you." - Luke 10:19 (New Living Translation (NLT))

Reflection Question:
In what area of your life have you been living as if you have no authority, when God may have already given you everything you need to move forward?

Quote:
It's like having your dad's debit card and knowing the PIN. The money isn't yours, and you don't actually have the cash yourself, but you do have access to it.

Prayer:
Lord, open my eyes to the authority You have already placed in my hands. Help me stop living beneath what You have freely given me through Jesus. Amen.

Have a blessed and wonderful day and see you tomorrow!
