Weakness.
It's not something we like to talk about. Hey...did I tell you how weak I felt yesterday? It was awesome!
But the Bible says when we're weak, God is strong. I never really got that until last week. Until something happened that exposed my weakness.
And I was lost.
So I did the only thing I could do. I ran to God. I told Him what a mess I was and that only He could do something about it. And He came through in a way and is still coming through in a way that I'm in awe of.
It made me realize that I'm such a mess, and I'm nothing without my Savior.
If you are weak right now, run to God. Tell Him you can't fix it, but He can. And I believe He'll come through in a way that will leave you breathless at His wisdom and grace.
It brings to mind the song "Yes, JESUS Loves ME" we learned as children. "We are weak but He is strong!" I daily ask Him for His strength and power because I can't make it a day without His powerful presence in my life. He is so good and faithful!!! Thanks for another great post!
ReplyDeleteI tend to yell over my shoulder, "Hey God, I almost got it! Just one more minute..." "So a dog returns to his vomit so a fool returns to his folly." I have these major weak areas in my life that I can't seem to master & I know that it's because I'm not the Master. My pride keeps me strapped to the bomb, in bondage to my fear. The fear that if I let Him do it that will mean that I failed. How ridiculous is that? As you said, "In my weakness He is made strong..." I just can't seem to admit that I need help because then somehow I'm not good enough to be loved by him if I'm a failure. Sadly I do not live out what I believe in my mind to be true, such a hard journey to overcome ones self!
