Strength

Can God use me when I feel useless?

God’s Response

Moses pleaded with the LORD, “O LORD, I’m just not a good speaker. I never have been, and I’m not now, even after you have spoken to me. I’m clumsy with words.”“Who makes mouths?” the LORD asked him. . . . “I will help you speak well, and I will tell you what to say.” Exodus 4:10-12

Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. . . . He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life.”. . . But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” 1 Kings 19:3-5

There are no limits to what God can do in and through you. In his strength you have power to do things you could never do on your own. In fact, God delights in taking your inadequacies and using them for his service. Then it is obvious to all that God is working through you. Your weaknesses, given humbly to God, are great tools in his hands.

God’s Promise

I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. Philippians 4:13
