Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.                   2 Corinthians 3:5

 

Do you ever feel inadequate about something in your life? Maybe it’s a specific task at work that seems overwhelming, a health condition that has controlled every aspect of your life or maybe a financial burden that you have no idea how it will ever be lifted. I think we’ve all faced times in life when things seem to overpower us and our strength is diminished because of our inadequacy.

 

Today’s verse is a great reminder that our help comes from the Lord Psalm 121:2. As humans we have limitations to our strength, emotional stability and financial resources. Once we’ve reached our limit, we can become discouraged, depressed and even resort to drastic measures to either cope with our situation or try to compensate by irrational means. This is not what God wants for His children.

 

I can tell you from personal experience, when you ask God for His help, He works with your limitations and adds His strength, wisdom and love into the equation and the results take you further, much further, than you ever expected. He loves you and desires to bless you, you just have to come in obedience to Him, willing to receive His help, and He will provide beyond your own limited ability to work through whatever your face.

 

You must acknowledge, “Without Me you can do nothing” John 15:5. Until you rely on God for help, your successes will be measured by your limitations. Trust God and see how He can multiply your limitations to accomplish much for His kingdom and bring blessings into your life! God bless!
