When I am weak…

I seem to learn the same lessons over and over but in
different form. I have learned that I need to start my day off with God and
that I need to present my things before the Lord. I know these things and I
have been practicing them. But I am only applying them to certain aspects of my
life.

 

To understand what I mean I need to back up to last month. I
hit the halfway point of the race. I was beginning to get weary and tired. I
was starting to need endurance in ministry, my team and my
relationships. I needed to seek the Lord to find my strength in Him when I was
growing weak.

 

And I wasn’t.

 

But you see, the Lord is very smart. He knows all of this.
In fact, before it even happened. He knows my desire to come out of this race
completely dependent on Him. To hear from His voice and follow it with all my
heart. To find refuge in His presence everyday and everywhere. So he said,
“ok since you want this with all your heart, I will help you get there.” He
wanted that too.

 

So the Lord began to strip me of the things that I
was relying on more than Christ. My relationships, my desire to fix things, my
comforts, my debit card even stopped working. They all took different forms but
every time I sought out these things they didn’t work some how. I was growing
weaker and weaker because I was relying on myself when He was calling me to His
arms.

 

Here I am in month 7. And I have given up. I have said that
when I am weak He is strong. I have chosen to seek His face everyday.

I have been learning to present things before the Lord
before anything else

When I am weak HE
IS STRONG.
