16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,[a] because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith,[b] just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.[c][d] (Romans 1:16-17 CSB)

Many believe they are powerful. Whether it be through election or other positions of power, they believe themselves to be above others. This can also come from how we react to people due to their celebrity.

Yet true power sits with God and he tends to give power through faith to the humble.

This is not man’s power, but a power that comes from within and in truth comes from the Spirit through faith.

These are the people who deserve our respect. The single mothers, the teachers, the people who serve us daily and faithfully. The ones who gain power not from some outward appearance or accolade, but from within and from above.
