Grace for your spirit August 11, 2008

God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong I Corinthians 1:27

Our excuses for not serving the Lord and mankind are pretty flimsy. We may say we aren’t wise enough, or we are too weak. We might say God is looking for wise people and strong people to do His work. We sometimes boast about our limitations and lack of ability to stay out of His work. God really wants the foolish and the weak to do His work and will. In that case, most of us are perfectly qualified. We just need to give ourselves completely to Christ, then we will be wise and strong through Him. When His power lives in us, we will still be able to boast about how insignificant we are, and still serve with all our heart. May we quit using our mouths for excuses and start using them for service.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
