Are we as Strong as
we Think we Are?
For decades, I considered myself to be a powerful person. I’m not sure why
that’s the case because I was often treated with disrespect, and I wasn’t
financially successful. Truthfully, I had a variety of limitations, but I
didn’t know it.
I have seen quite a few of those blockages lifted as I admitted my restrictions
and allowed divine guidance into my life. My writing, teaching, and piano
playing skills have multiplied. That’s only a partial list of previous
weaknesses that are being strengthened.
Gideon
In Judges, chapter 6, we meet the young man, Gideon. He is addressed by an
angel as a “mighty man of valour” (Judges 6:12 KJV) This astonishes Gideon because
he is a poor, young farmer. He also points out the fact that Israel hasn’t been
saved from the Midianites, yet. Gideon
finally stops complaining when God says He will be with the young man, and
help him to conquer the enemy. The fact
that God was on his side quieted Gideon’s fears, as it should conquer ours.
What can God’s
Strength do for Us?
My Conclusion
Some of us
think we have power, and some of us don’t. In the end, however much control we claim,
our all-powerful God has more. For instance, He can make mighty warriors out of
intimidated, obscure young people. That’s why He’s in charge, and we’re not.
Which of
your weaknesses has God turned into strengths?
