The Sadducees had a problem hearing Jesus talking about a resurrection when they did not believe that a resurrection was possible. Jesus pretty much answers, when the word of God is absent in our lives we not know the power of God. Whenever I have found it difficult to believe in a dream, believe in myself, believe what God can do in my life and through my life I can always look back and find the reason why, and it's usually because I have neglected or have not disciplined myself in my devotion time with God. In physics, power (symbol: P) is the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted, or the amount of energy required or expended for a given unit of time. The equation for power looks like this:
Spiritually speaking, Time spent in the Word=Power. I've been raised in church and have probably read the bible through and through many times already, but that does not mean I do not need it daily. I need God's word, I need it present, I need it active and I need it working in my life constantly. There's no question we all go through times of drought or a slump if you will, and during those times it's hard to hear God and hard to see hope, those are the times for greater pursuit. Some things are only found with great pursuit. I wonder how much I've missed or have delayed when my pursuit struggled in my devotional life? To know the power of God, to know the power that God has given you, time spent in the word is needed.
Lord your word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee. I want to know your power Lord lead me through your word!
