Are you too strong?

In every age strength has been the quest. Strength to achieve and conqueror. The ability to be self-sufficient and capable with out any assistance needed. The modern man struts his "stuff" to be admired and followed by those who envy and want the same power. Gods way is different - totally. He glories not in the strength of man but his weakness. He works when we see our need for him and we can do nothing of ourselves, In Ps 102:23 - " He weakens our strength in the way". Sickness, pain and trouble cause us to enter a powerful realm called "weakness", were HIS strength is made perfect in 2 Cor 12:9. Divine strength comes though human need, and dependency on Christ is born. If we are too powerful, God waits, for He is no longer needed . He holds the universe, as we boast in our own plans, what a paradox!. God is faithful to slow us down so that we discover His ability. He refreshes when our strength fails; rejoice in your weakness for it is a "springboard" to true power. Stand in the power of His might - Let Him uphold you.
