Strength

This past Saturday was the women’s breakfast at our church. It was so awesome. The topic was Strength. Several things stood out to me during the message. Our pastor’s wife Ashley spoke about not only strength but weakness. She said “God’s strength is our weakness “ and referenced “How long, LORD? Will you forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? ~Psalm 13: 1-2 (NIV)and  2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Ashley reminded us that pain is often times the process that God uses to bear fruit in our lives and that we will find our strength when we Believe the Lord is with us. A few key points that she impressed upon us were:

• Go in what you know
• Be committed to grow
• Commit to doing what God has asked you and that’s it
• Comparison is the thief of joy and tells God his handiwork isn’t good enough
• Be in the moment
• Live moment by moment
• Step out of the boat
• Don’t underestimate God when someone underestimated you

She left us with a few questions that I am still working on the answers to but wanted to share them with you.

1. “Who has failed to see your heart?”
2. ”Who has underestimated you?”
3. Who or what is your Goliath?”
4. Who is your God?”

How would you answer those four questions?
