MY STRENGTH

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9.., "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." ...
      The life of a believer in Jesus Christ is often difficult at best, what I mean is the struggles of living seem to compound and give way to more intense searching for relief. Why, I am so glad youasked?
       The writer to Corinth is describing personal affliction allowed by God on His faithful servant, being full of God's Holy Spirit and walking with Him is not without difficulty. The presence of God in the believers life allows the one who wholly trust his creator, the privledge of knowing our Father is in control, He is in the drivers seat, NOT my co-pilot. The very power of almighty God, is filling us moment by moment, yet the way seems clouded, it is right here that God is perfecting in His treasures the trust that we can do nothing without Him.
      Paul writes, God's Strength is made perfect in our weakness, looking at my earthly father, I cried, "daddy help me I am falling," he grabbed me just as my strength failed. The picture of not being able to fix the problem and trusting completely in Jesus, the failure in myself to stop tragedies and to help another when there is no help in me is, God doing it through me. He knows what I need and when I need it, that is suffucent to meet the difficulty head on.
      God says, to the weary, "My grace is sufficient," wow, He has a plan and all I need do is look up and He will meet that problem and put it in its place.
Heavenly Father, I need You, the world seems all too stressful, help me to see as You see, let the things that distract become dim while I look to You. You know what is best for me, I thank you for all You are doing and trust You to walk me through to the end. Thank You. Amen
