THE POWER OF GOD
NELSON PRICE
I CORINTHIANS 1:17,18
Jesus Christ said, "All power is given unto Me in heaven and
earth..."

This opens one of the major mysteries of life. If that is so, and it is,

strong loving arms and take her outside on the patio and place her
in a comfortable chair. There they had refreshments and talked as
he shared his day with her.
This was their regular delightful routine. To say the least she

time together.
One afternoon he came home but didn't immediately come into the
bedroom as usual. She called out to him and he responded
casually. She urged him to come on in. After what seemed to be an
undue delay he came in and stood some distance from the bed.
She smiled warmly and appealed to him to pick her up so they
could go outside and enjoy the beautiful day. He stood motionless.
