Last week when I went to Red Rock Canyon, I got to see something that I had only seen on Television.  Huge, huge, huge windmills.  Hundreds and hundreds of them stretched over fifty miles.  They probably went even further west than the distance that we drove.  It is so flat out west of Oklahoma City that "the wind comes sweeping down the plain."  There isn't anything to stop it.  So it is a perfect place for windmills.  (And dust storms.)

They are almost entirely silent.  But the power they generate is tremendous.  And clean.  It isn't like coal fired generating plants which spew out bad stuff.  (I lived next to one of those in Pryor.)

When I was a little girl, there were water wheels that generated power on farms lucky enough to have a stream running through their property.  I have wondered why the scientific world can't seem to come up with a cheap way to harness the power of the ocean tides and waves.  I know they are working on it, but so far it has proved to be too expensive to generate.

But the greatest power we have is at our fingertips.  As children of God, we can tap into His power.  He is the ultimate power over all the earth.

"For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives by the power of God.  For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you."  2 Corinthians 13:4

"And they were astonished at his (Jesus') doctrine: for his word was with power." Luke 4:32

"Who (Jesus) being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."  Hebrews 1:3

God alone has the power to save us.  He alone has the power to grant our requests.  He alone has the power to forgive us our sins.  We have a powerful friend in God.  We are weak.  He is strong.
