Day 196 - We Are Feeble, Yet God is Strong.

Oct 31, 20232 min read

We are feeble, yet God is strong. Do right, and be confident Christ is in you.

For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.

Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?

But it is my hope that you will have no doubt that we are truly Christ's.

Now our prayer to God is that you may do no evil; not in order that it may be put to our credit, but so that you may do what is right, whatever we may seem.

Because we are able to do nothing against what is true, but only for it.

For we are glad when we are feeble and you are strong: and this is our prayer, even that you may be made complete. (2 Corinthians 13.4-9 Bible in Basic English (BBE))

Paul's words are inspirational to the believer. We are feeble, yet God is strong. Do right, be confident Christ is you, and be complete in the Lord.

Prayer:

Blessed Father, please help me to do right, be feeble for you and Christ, and love others as you love me. Let me wear my heart for God on my sleeve, readily available for any who need your words or touch. Share with me your words of encouragement and love when they are required. For those times I stumble, I ask for your encouragement for myself. Thank you, Lord, for being there for me and all who seek you. With you, I can change the world. Amen.

A little encouragement - sometimes that's all we need! Congratulation on completing the UBC! Tamara

I have enjoyed reading your blogs and praying with you. Congratulations on a great UBC!

I like the images - then again images are my "thing."

I had a reaction to the word feeble. I'll muse on that ...

Yes, let me wear my heart for God on my sleeve, readily available for any who need your words or touch.

Barb, I understand. Feeble seems weak and undesirable. I have come to believe it is about recognizing that we are weak in comparison to the potential of the Father. By growing our understanding of God's power, we recognize we have only a fraction of what he is. With this thought, it is with no regret that I admit I am feeble compared to our Lord.
