Millions watched as a power loss at this year’s Super Bowl left half the stadium dark. Energy providers and Superdome management struggled for explanations for the outage, citing an abnormality in the equipment. While they searched for the root cause, the outage was blamed on decay in the power line and a relay malfunction.

So that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God-Acts 26:18

When you think about today’s America, does it seem that half the nation is in the dark – spiritually? There is a root cause: decay caused by sin in the midst. But there is an available, perpetual power source, Jehovah God, and those who plug in are found in the light with no delays.

Paul knew that source. He testified before King Agrippa and government officials like Festus of the defining moment that grounded him and turned his world around. He saw the people in darkness and decay, and was determined to preach to them the redemption and power of Jesus Christ.

Prayer is your great power cord. Check to be certain that you are fully plugged in. Then pray for an America in darkness to find the Light of the World and place their trust in Him…beginning with the nation’s leaders and extending to the youngest schoolchild.
