19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
There seems to be a strong connection between the power of God and our willingness to believe. It is almost like the currency of His strengeth is the faith of believers. Here is the account of Jesus not performing miracles due to a lack of faith.
Matthew 13:57-58 And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home."
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
But on the contrary, if we believe He will show up He will. It is our faith that triggers His works in our lives. He will work whether we believe or not however when we expect Him to move it opens the door to His mighty power. With the faith of a mustard seed we can move mountains.

Lord I believe, help me with my unbelief.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
