This week's devotions are by Redeemer member Bernice Stewart.
That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:5
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious ...AND
Lazarus was dead!
....no more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
Those are a few lines of a message that were emailed
to me. They reminded me that . . .
When we turn to HIM and are not turned into ourselves
we experience the awesomeness of the GRACE of GOD!
What we do is not of our own strength but God's power!!
Prayer: Father, help us to focus on You as You qualify
and empower us to do Your will. AMEN.
