The ONLY way of me Serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God’s work well and triumphantly, is an acknowledgment of MY own weakness.....
If I am 'prideful' strong in my own might, whenever I boast, defeat is not far off in the distance. God will NOT go with me whenever I march in my own strength. If I would assume success, in such a condition, I have misjudged the 'system of reward' of the Lord, for “it is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit”
If I am to 'Serve God' I must serve him in His' own way, and in His' strength, or He will never accept my service / ( or any other sacrifice).
That which I would do, unaided by divine strength, God can never own. I will only Reap that corn produce from the Seed of which was sown from Heaven; Watered by Grace; and Ripened by the sun of Divine Unconditional Love. The river of God is full of water; but not one drop of it flows from earthly springs.
God will have NO strength used in his battles but the strength which he himself imparts.
Am I mourning much over my own weaknesses......?
Take courage, for there must be a Spiritual consciousness of MY weakness before the Lord will give me victory ! My emptiness is but the preparation for being filled, the making ready for your lifting up, by the Grace of God.
ONLY When I am weak then am I actually strong (in the Lord),
Grace is my shield
Christ my song.......
