WHEN WE WEAR THE WINGS WE DO GREATER THINGS
WHEN WE WEAR THE WINGS WE DO GREATER THINGS
SCRIPTURE
John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
DEVOTION
In this scripture Jesus is telling his people that those who believe in him will not only do what He has done….but He will do even greater things through them. That’s a pretty staggering comment when you think about all the things Jesus did while on earth. It’s also pretty daunting if we take that all on ourselves. However, the great thing about doing greater things is…..we just have to submit, obey, and give God our best. He is perfectly capable of doing “greater things” without our involvement. It is His relational nature that makes Him want to involve us in those things.
In the world of athletics “greater things” can take many different forms. It may involve winning. At times it might involve simply competing at a level higher than a team is capable of. It may also include a team never quitting in the face of adversity. But the coolest thing about this idea is that God empowers those who believe in Him to do things they are not capable of on their own.
That’s what wearing the wings stands for. When we put on these uniforms that display Eagle wings it is symbolic of our submission to God. Wearing the wings can be such a freeing experience because it takes all the pressure off us and places it on God. We must simply give Him our best efforts and allow Him to do the greater things through us.
