I love how God speaks to us and how He always knows just what to use to break through to us. I was dwelling on how I (Heather) was going to be strong enough, good enough, smart enough to get through the mini crises that seem so major in the moment and even overwhelming at times. I was focusing so hard on how I (Heather) could possibly juggle everything, control everything, and manage every detail without messing up. I started to pray and I remember saying “Father I need you to make me stronger” and it was almost as if God snapped His almighty hands to wake me up and said Heather you cannot be strong enough because I am your strength and apart from me you can do nothing! I just sat there staring out with tears running down my face. All God wanted was for me to stop relying on myself and start relying on Him alone. I had to stand back and praise God for His power, His plan, and His great control over every single aspect of my life! There is absolutely nothing too hard for the Lord our God and He is always more than enough. Right after my prayer I started my daily devotion and it was on 2nd Corinthians 12:9 which says….
“And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
What an awesome God we serve! Thank you Father for making me weak so that I always turn to you Lord!
