Oh, My Aching….
My power works best in your weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:8 (NLT)
This morning I woke up with a backache. This wasn’t a minor backache. This one got my attention—I haven’t had one like this for years! So much for my big plans to get out and DO things today.
Instead of jumping up this morning and urgently running around with my To Do list, I carefully rolled out of bed and managed to pour myself a cup of coffee. Here I am now, enjoying time with my Lord … and He’s redirecting my steps. Instead of going out to work my agenda, I’ll be here writing and doing what He lays on my heart.
Like Paul, I am glad for this weakness. Now I can see God’s priorities and His work instead of my own. And I am content because I’m learning—when I am weak then I am strong.
And His strength is all I need.
Lord, show us Your grace and bless us with this knowledge: You are all we need. Amen.
