GOOD MORNING!

If there's one thing men love, it's power. Whether it's a truck as big as an elephant, a power saw that can tear through wood  like it was French bread, or a golf club that can smack a ball 200 yards down the fairway, having power in your hands is an exhilarating experience. 

But sooner or later, we all experience a power failure.

Whether it's trouble in our marriage, a parent's failing health, or an unexpected change in careers, being powerless is every man's worst nightmare. In fact, most of us have been taught to fight failure with our entire beings before we were taught to walk.

However, when failure presents itself, we should do the opposite of what we've been taught to do, we should surrender. That's the key to surviving life's power failures. The amount of God's power in our lives is proportional to how much we surrender to Him. 

Our faith doesn't guarantee that every tragedy will end well, but God does promise to pour His power into our lives to the degree that we let Him. Once we accept this, it will help us survive every power failure we have to face.
