When an individual wakes up, the day can dictate one’s degree of excitement. Anticipation for an activity, event or the weekend can produce adrenaline, enthusiasm and vigor for life. However, sometimes the energy burst you receive may come from above?
“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?” – Mark 11:28
In the days of Jesus, his ministry was always under scrutiny. Whether he was feeding the masses, performing a miracle or outwitting the Pharisees, religious leaders doubted his authenticity. It wasn’t until Jesus used John the Baptist as an illustration to prove inspiration can come from above.
.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”- Mark 11:30
Following a milestone or success story, individuals will give a myriad of responses. Some will credit their coach, trainer or parents. Others may reference their discipline, re-dedication or state of the art training program. However, a few will profess of a higher power, strength from above which ultimately led to their victory. Although the media may not show all those who give glory to God, I believe human inspiration only takes you so far. With this in mind, tap into the Holy Spirit to help reach your full potential.
