- In a day
when personal power is the buzz phrase of the hour, it is good
to review that the Bible teaches us that His power is revealed
through our weakness.
We have donned the blinders of
time. We see little, but fancy ourselves to have complete overview.
I might know what some of my strengths
are, but my natural strengths are not the places of deepest use
to the Lord. Isn't it odd humanly speaking, that He uses my weaknesses
to reveal Himself?
Although I could give you a big
list of things I would like to see improved or changed, the truth
is, I don't actually know what my weaknesses are. That is why
they are called weaknesses.
That means that I must learn
to actively and deliberately submit to him at all times.
This will not happen unless I tell Him.
- What it
boils down to is that I must learn to have the same reaction
to the Lord and before the angels when I see what I what I interpret
as personal success and when I see what I interpret to be personal
failure.
I MUST move on to the next
hour in as much obedience as I know to do. I MUST look
at the next need to be filled. I MUST rush to the One
Who keeps the stars in place, to pour my heart out to Him.
I MUST hand over to Him
the hours that feel like failures and move on. There is no
other way to live.
