Purpose of Power

"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it" (Proverbs 3:27). "And He called... and began to send them forth... and gave them power.... And they went out, and preached that men should repent" (Matthew 6:7-12).

What is the power God placed in your hand?
To whom is its ministry due?
God who equipped you has given command
To give as was given to you.

This is the purpose for power from God:
To minister where He has sent.
It's not so that others may see and applaud,
But rather that they should repent.

Lord, here am I, equipped with Your power;
Now send me wherever You will,
Redeeming the time, every day, every hour,
And thereby Your purpose fulfill.
