Today's Inspiration: Empowerment
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you....
Acts 1:8
Simply put, empowerment means that individuals want part of the action. They are tired of being unrecognized, and they want some say in what happens.
Empowerment has a spiritual dimension as well, although the definition of "empowerment" is somewhat different. God's empowerment, which He promised to His children, opens the door to a new dimension of spiritual life for any who is willing to receive it on God's terms, not his own. It's the three words "on God's terms" that cause us trouble.
When people demand empowerment, it is usually on their own terms. But empowerment from God - the real thing - only comes through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself promised us empowerment right before He went to Heaven. He said, "But you will receive power when the Holy spirit comes on you ... " (Acts 1:8).
Spiritual empowerment isn't some bells and whistles sort of spiritual jazz to make our drab lives exciting. It is how God chooses to work through us to touch the lives of other people. Empowerment comes when we meet God's terms and ask Him to fill us Himself.
May God give us a thirst for spiritual empowerment.

Today's Stars
The issues you are thinking about that surround a child or a childlike loved one could be causing you a lot of stress and strife right now. You are worried how a certain situation will play out, and these thoughts might be causing you some anxiety and sleepless nights. What you are doing, though, is worrying about the future, but the future hasn't even arrived yet! When you put it in that context, Taurus, hopefully it sounds sort of silly to you. In reality, you really don't know how things will turn out, and they could turn out just fine. Don't waste your time worrying.
