Weakness
I have a lot to learn about weakness. I just got my first taste of weakness after travelling 14 hours from L.A. to Hong Kong then after a 2 hour lay-over we had another 2.5 hour flight from Hong Kong to Manila. We safely made it to the Philippines at around 11:00 AM, which was a blessing because all 50 of us and our luggage made it across the border with no complications. I was tired but that was to be expected, but later on that day I hit the wall. My feet were swollen because I had not laid down in almost 48 hours, it was stinking hot, I was surprised by the poverty in Manila, and I was surprised that I was surprised at the poverty in Manila. I have seen poverty before in Mexico, Belize, and Costa Rica, but this city is huge and reading about it on the internet does not do it justice. So during our worship time all I could think about was a shower and some sleep! I also realized that this is probably our nicest stop for the year, can I handle this? I know the answer is no, but thank God He is strong enough to carry me through.
Mt 26:41
Rom 5:6
2 Cor 12:10
Rom 8:26
2 Cor 12:9
These few verses are about weakness, and they mean something different to everyone. So I challenge you to read them for yourselves!!! Actually stop take the time to read a word from God.
I am excited for my next dose of weakness.
