The word empower means "to give strength, ability, and capability." It comes from two words, "em" meaning "in, into, on, onto" and "power" meaning "ability and strength to act." Everything you know and do have come because you've been empowered by others. There are many occasions when life and new opportunities require additional education and training leading to empowerment. The Principles of Empowerment devotional is designed to help you take hold to principles of empowerment. Empowerment is something you already have, and it is something of which you could always use more. Empowerment is like good nutrition and health, you can never get too much. Time with the Lord everyday is both empowering and renewing.
