There are times that I question God's strength. Many times I find my self in circumstances where I start to really wonder all that I grew up believing about an almighty God. I question His divine plan for me, and if He indeed has a plan to not harm, but to give me hope. It's in the hardest times of my life that I realize that God is in control. Although it's hard to believe and to understand how can God be in control of the worst day of my life. When It seemed as if He wasn't there at all. Of course the question that overwhelms my heart and mind is why? Why did I have to face a day like this again. What purpose is hidden in a situation that I was just starting to get over? Now after years of healing I'm looking at this dark day once more. Now my weakness is exposed and my true colors are showing. Then I question His strength. Is He strong enough to turn my situation around and can I regain my hope? Is He strong enough to keep my husband and I from completely falling apart from another devastating situation? Can He be strong enough to see me lose faith again? Can He be strong enough to love me after I've been angry with Him? So, my many questions are calmed by this reminder in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that God's strength is made perfect in my weakness. So, I guess He just became stronger!
It is good to be weak at times, because when we are it opens the door for God

I love you babe!
That is such a good reminder Jamie and so true P.Mo. God is able to reveal His uttermost strength and do what seems impossible, even in the most difficult of times. God has a plan and He knows the desires of your heart!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
Personal strength is overrated and noise-canceling headphones are a must! When I'm in the dark places and the thoughts overwhelm the only thing I can do is hold onto the Rock that is stronger than I and let Him hold me up. Then I put on the lie-canceling promises of God and refuse to let the evil lies get into my heart...that's a hard one though.
ReplyDeleteBe weak and be strong and know lots of folks are praying with you!
