“When
I am weak, He is strong.” These quizzical words from the apostle Paul contain
one of the most powerful principles revealed in scripture; our inadequacies do
not disqualify us from God using us. Though the kingdom of darkness would have
us believe otherwise, our weaknesses, when earnestly surrendered to the
Almighty, are the perfect stage on which God may reveal His mercy, wisdom and glory!
When we are forced out of our own abilities is often the divinely chosen moment
when the LORD manifests Himself in ways we never imagined possible. Lord God, I
begin this day in such a moment. I lay my deficiencies at your feet. By Your
mercy and grace, help me walk on water.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
