“WHEN SOME BASIC NEED IS LACKING—time, energy, money—consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto GOD in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live—in the present; it is the place where GOD always awaits you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on GOD. The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that GOD’S Power is made perfect in weakness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. JAMES 1 : 2
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (NKJV)
Prayer: God help me to latch onto you in unashamed dependence for all my needs today both big and small. This is the way you intended me to live, close and leaning on you. When my pride creeps in, gently bring me back to my center – Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
