THE WEAK AND THE HUMBLE

 

GOD CALLS THE WEAK AND THE HUMBLE

It is a TOUGH WORLD

That we live in=

Our faith ASSURES US

That we can ENDURE-

Whatever the world

Throws at us

It is NOT ALWAYS

To the toughest=and strongest=that

ENDURE in this world=

Although that

Is sometimes the case

But GOD CALLS the

WEAKEST and the HUMBLEST

To TESTIFY for him

"Therefore I am

Content with WEAKNESSES-insults-

Hardships-persecutions-and constraints

For the sake of Christ-

For when I am WEAK-

Then I am strong"                                                                                                                   2 Corinthians 12:10

I have been WEAKENED

Every day of my life

By a chronic illness

But like Saint Paul=God

Has given me the strength

To PERSEVERE-

Despite my illness

ALL we have to do

Is look at

The lives of the SAINTS

And those in the bible

To see HOW GOD

Used the weak

And the humble

To ADVANCE his word

In this world

We live in

"In the same way

The SPIRIT helps us

In our WEAKNESS

We do not know

What we ought to

Pray for

But the Spirit himself

Intervenes for us

Through wordless groans"                                                                                                      Romans 8:26

"For the foolishness of God

Is wiser than

Human strength

And the WEAKNESS of God

Is stronger than human strength"                                                                                   1 Corinthians 1:25

"But he said to me=

'My grace is sufficient

For you

For my power

Is made perfect

IN WEAKNESS'

Therefore I will boast

All the more gladly

About my WEAKNESSES

So that Christ's power

May rest on me"                                                                                                                        2 Corinthians 12:9

When we are weak-

When we are HUMBLE=

God can use us

Even more=

As Saint Paul FOUND OUT

God sends us the GRACE

In order=for him

To be MAGNIFIED

God calls the weak=

And he calls

The HUMBLE

Humility is given

To us

Through GRACE ALONE

The weaker you are

The more DEPENDENT

You are on God

The GREATER

God can use you

Saint Paul and the SAINTS

Found that out=

SO DID I

"HUMILITY is

The fear of the LORD

Its wages are richer

And honor and LIFE"                                                                                                                 Proverbs 22:4

So DON'T WORRY about

Your weaknesses=

The weaker that you are

THE MORE GOD

Can USE YOU

So STEP FORWARD in GRACE

And in faith

In Jesus' name
