superheroes

One of the favorite games my grandson, Peter, and I play is "Superheroes".  Peter likes to be Spider Man and he allows me to be Bat Man.  We swoop through Peter's house catching imaginary bad guys and using super powers to fly, cast webs and overpower our enemies.  There's something satisfying about having an advantage over our foes and our Super Heroes always prevail.  It occurs to me that we have the ultimate in super powers available to us as believers and trusters in the Lord.  We have prayer, promises and presence to provide access to the Living God and His strength.  He gives us x-ray vision to discern danger and apply wisdom, words straight from His mind that give us insight into ourselves, His Spirit to show us when we are veering off course and we can soar in praise, almost as if flying.  We may not carry names like Bat Man, Spider Man or Superman.....maybe we can be known as Super Sheep!
 
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
