No matter how well a pyrotechnician creates a spectacular firework to be displayed on the canvas of a night sky, it will never display without one main feature: Dynamite. For the dynamite provides the power that causes the firework to showcase it's beauty across the canvas of the night sky.
Just like a firework cannot be displayed without the power of dynamite, Christians cannot live their life effectively without the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made this clear when he told his disciples they would need to use the power of the Holy Spirit after he ascended to heaven to continue doing the work of evangelism he had commissioned them to do. Paul made it clear when he told Timothy he would need to use the power that resided within him to overcome his fear and timidity as a young pastor, and this is the power Jesus used when the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of his garment and she was immediately healed.
So as you look up into the night sky this holiday weekend and view the magnificent display of fireworks ignited by the power of dynamite, remember the dynamic power that also resides in you - a power to live your life magnificently for the Lord.
