Men - strength vs power..


Strength - fully applied force, energy, purposed to achieve something
Power - Strength under control - tamed

We should not live life through strength but through power

Power is strength with a purpose, directed strength, mastered strength that can be withheld or used. The Concord jet with all its might and amazing speed had to be discontinued because man could not master it. The best car is not the fastest, but the one that has the best control.

Any item that doesn't use its strength on intended job is broken; unguided strength.

Power is conformity to rules - following set boundaries, some that the power holder accepts and others that they don not accept but nevertheless follows.

Power is gentle and released in regulated ways and is only released to achieve a specific pre-determined plan. Any plan achieved otherwise shows a level of lack of mastery of the power.

Two leaders have strength, one uses his strength without control, observance to his elected purpose or general human laws/ rules :"DICTATOR", other bottles up his strength and allows diplomacy, restrain and mediation :"POWERFUL LEADER".

Unguided power destroys not only the area it exerts its power (environment) but also the vessel itself.

Men - how do we fair. We are through nature given much strength physically, but how do we wield it. We owe the world 'controlled' strength. We owe our children 'gentle' power, we owe our women meekness. Humbleness is more a virtue than strength. Its a Jet fighter that can come to a tamed speed to enable it to fly alongside a "slower" passenger jet and guide it to a safe landing. Its a samurai sword in the hands of the master swords man.

Jesus was the strongest man ever but he was meek

Others are: Martin Luther, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa - wielded so much power, power that our current day leaders can only dream of but were some of the meekest people to watch, study and listen to.

meek - tamed, modest, self controlled: note, bottled strength.

Tamed...

Its Yours, if your it

  1. Charisma derived from power is far more eternally influential than one derived from strength. This was on point man.
