A Sunday Lesson........

Did you know that what you consider your weaknesses are in fact your assets?...I would of never thought much about that..except today our pastor gave us something to think about when he preached about how God uses our weaknesses to manifest His strength through us! I'm not sure if I can explain it as good as Pastor did...but I'll attempt to make some sense of what I absorbed in church this morning!
We all have weak spots.....things in our lives that we wish were different or better...our appearances ,for instance...or maybe our abilities..there is always something we wish we could do better, some of us wish we were smarter, more athletic, we wish we could sing better, dance better or any number of things...you plug them in...But wherever our weak spot is....God will give us strength somewhere else, somewhere perhaps where we would least expect to be strong. We may never even realize where our strength lies, because we are too busy concentrating on our failures and weaknesses! The apostle Paul wrote in the bible that God's grace is sufficient for us because His power is made perfect in our weakness! That kind of explains a lot doesn't it? Got me to thinking about some of my own "weak spots"! Sometimes we feel bad because we can't do certain things that we would like to be able to do. There are so many things about myself that I would like to improve! But, I know that God uses me anyway and that even though I may not be great at a lot of things, He knows what my capabilities are and He will help me put them to good use! That's what God wants us to do.....realize our weaknesses and know that without Him we are powerless to do anything...Don't you think the strength we have comes from Him anyway?
Life can throw us some wicked curves, very few of us make it down life's road without hitting some chug holes, bumps, road blocks and whatever other obstacles that may get tossed in our paths.....but, we don't have to be defeated by those obstacles or by our weak shocks.....cause if we let God be our "backseat" driver....I know what you all are thinking about backseat drivers..........just bare with me! Sometimes those backseat drivers are smarter than you and know a little bit more about where they are going! We don't want to listen to them because we think we are smarter. But, let me tell you...nobody is smarter than God! Sometimes you just got to listen to someone who knows more than you do....and that most definitely would be God!!!
I think you all are getting the point and that I don't have to use any more examples here.....what I am really trying to say is quite simple: We are weak and He is strong....because He is strong, He protects us in spite of our weaknesses and by His strength we can overcome anything that will try to stop us from achieving what He wants us to do to bring about His will for our lives! That is what I learned in church this morning. Just wanted to pass it on!
