Tapping into the Power of God, Max Lucado
Part of the answer is illustrated in a story about a lady who had a small house on the seashore of Ireland at the turn of the century.
She was quite wealthy but also quite frugal.
The people were surprised, then, when she decided to be among the first to have electricity in her home.
Several weeks after the installation, a meter reader appeared at her door.
He asked if her electricity was working well, and she assured him it was.
“I’m wondering if you can explain something to me,” he said.
“Your meter shows scarcely any usage.
Are you using your power?”
“Certainly,” she answered.
“Each evening when the sun sets, I turn on my lights just long enough to light my candles; then I turn them off.”
She’s tapped into the power but doesn’t use it.
Her house is connected but not altered.
Don’t we make the same mistake?
We, too—with our souls saved but our hearts unchanged—are connected but not altered.
Trusting Christ for salvation but resisting transformation.
We occasionally flip the switch, but most of the time we settle for shadows.
