I AM WEAK

I might be weak, but in Christ, I am strong!

2 Corinthians 12:9, And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

If you have ever had to babysit a toddler that could not walk unassisted yet, I am sure you probably lifted them up with their hands, had them stand on your feet, and let them walk with you. That child laughed and asked to do it again when you stopped. Why; because they were made strong by your strength.

Friend, as you and I yield our weak, sinful bodies over to Jesus Christ, He gives us His strength! He gives us His grace! He takes on our infirmities and we get His power! I might be weak, but in Christ, I am strong!

BE MEEK

Meekness is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength under control.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. Psalm 22:26

How many people have forgotten the attribute of being meek? I often wonder if it is in our vocabulary any more at all. With pride being in almost every TV show and music video, one cannot help to be affected by it. Pride puts self before everyone else. A proud heart puts self before the Lord. You become your own god.

Jesus was hanging on the Cross. He could have dispatched ten thousand angels to come to wipe out mankind. He did not do that because He was meek! He did that because of grace! He did that for you and me! So let us be meek in an attempt to win the lost, dying, hurting world!
