Domino: Your True Power In Life

A row of dominos standing on end has an incredible amount of energy just waiting to dazzle. The precise work of setting up each domino holds the coming excitement of watching them interact and fall.

But there are a few things to consider when setting up.

Spacing is important. The first domino can’t be too far from the next. It also has to have sufficient weight compared to the next one or it can’t knock it over. And angles are important. The wrong angle and the momentum and energy is lost and the cascade will stop.

But, when all is lined up and ready to go, just a small push and off it goes. Nothing behind it is safe. Every domino will fall.

Okay, interesting but how does this apply to your life?

You have a domino inside you and it determines which obstacles will fall before you. That first domino if too small or if not positioned correctly will not impact your life with the potential power inside.

Your first domino is faith.

Oh boy, here comes a sermon on if I just had enough faith my bank account would grow, my health would be perfect and my relationships would be healthy. Nope.

What God has in mind for your life in those areas we aren’t going to talk about. What we will talk about is the potential power within you to topple even the enemy when you get that first domino right.

Faith is the inherent power, the first domino, waiting for a push to start the miraculous. And the attributes of that faith matter.

Let’s talk about the size, weight, and spacing of faith.

The Lord said that I only need the faith of a mustard seed. That seed won’t make a whole lot of impact until it grows into that large tree. It’s energy is inherent and just waiting to sprout to show itself. When it does, that tiny seed is forgotten and the birds are now nesting in its branches and shade is waiting underneath.

The power was always within my dear. It just needs time and nurturing to grow.

Imagine a child trying to push over a giant. The child does not have the power or weight to accomplish such a feat. Now reverse that image.

I don’t know about you but sometimes I see the circumstances in my life towering over me. Pushing them over seems absolutely impossible. I feel small in comparison. The truth is that with Christ in me all obstacles can be pushed over.

When I am trying to knock over a problem in life I better see it through the eyes of faith in the One for whom nothing is impossible. Standing on His shoulders, everything is beneath Him. Nothing is impossible.

My faith in the Lord is my first domino. I am not to have faith in faith. Faith is in a person. So when I think about the Lord, my belief in who He is the beginning. His is the energy I need. He brings the momentum once faith has pushed.

I cannot have faith as something I do on Sunday. It is too far removed from actually impacting the issues of my life. Faith in the Lord has to come with me everywhere I go. That means that I need to be in the presence of the One I believe in.

The whole of the Israelite army was quaking in their sandals. An army and a giant stood before them. The challenge was laid down. One from Israel would come forward to fight the giant and whoever won would win the war.

None of the soldiers thought they had what it would take to knock this guy over. And then came David, a small, scrawny shepherd boy.

The soldiers compared themselves to the giant. David compared him to God. We know what happens next.

There is nothing in your life, or mine, that is too big for God. Your faith in this is your power. There is nothing that He cannot topple. With your faith in Him solid, standing and ready, go ahead and give life a push. Then watch Him work.
