Standing On Holy Ground

Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural sights in the world. The roar of 6 million cubic feet of water each minute makes it the most powerful waterfall in North America. Few people, however, know that more than 50 percent of the river’s water is diverted before it reaches those falls via four giant tunnels. This water passes through hydroelectric turbines that supply power to nearby areas in the US and Canada before returning to the river well past the Falls.

Some would love to have lives like Niagara Falls— wild, spectacular, and loud. But power without control dissipates into useless energy. Moses thought he could use his royal power to bring about deliverance for God’s people from slavery. He misused his power by killing an Egyptian, which only dissipated his power because he lost the respect of his people, and God had to teach him meekness in 40 years of wilderness.

The meek prosper because they are the ones who have power under control. Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” You may be trying to live in this world by your own power. Let God teach you meekness so you can live in and depend on His strength.
