"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness"…He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (2 Corinthians 12:9, Isaiah 40:29-31)

When we realize our drastic insufficiency and admit to God that we are weak, God offers us His strength.

Whenever we cry out to God concerning our complete frailty in any given area of life, His grace is available to meet that need.

Lord, You are my only hope and my strength. On my own I am hopeless and powerless. Thank You for Your grace . I am weak; give me Your power. I have no might; increase Your strength in me. I wait upon You. I put my trust in You. Thank You for Your strength in my life, in Jesus' name, Amen.

You're not powerful enough to ruin God's plan for you.

In case you thought you blew it.

In case you thought you were too far gone.

In case you are stuck in fear.

Rest in the fact that God is a God of redemption, and He knows your limitations.

Psalm 103:13-14 reminds us: "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust."

If you're seeking to honor God, you're exactly where you need to be. He sees your heart, your sacrifices, and your obedience. It's not about perfection, but submission. God fulfills His plans through willing hearts.

Please don't think that you messed up the story.

Continue to show up faithfully, and know that God, in His faithfulness, will do His part and direct your path. 🌿

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you." Isaiah 60:1

If Your Law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my misery.

I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. Psalm 119: 92-93

The Psalmist is in grave danger. The wicked are out to destroy him. (Verse 95) But his eyes are upon the Lord, recounting His faithfulness and power through many generations. He begins to delight in His Maker.

Choosing to delight in God might not be easy especially when things are not going well for us and we feel like giving up. That's when we need to focus on His word because God's word can revive us. You see, every circumstance you are facing today is under the feet of Jesus. He is well able to handle it. He is perfectly capable of sustaining us, if we will only let Him. If you are despondent or depressed, make a conscious effort to read the word of God, lay your burdens at His feet and He will strengthen you and help you to come out on the other side unscathed.

‭‭John 10:10 AMPC‬‬

[10] The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Psalm‬ ‭150:1‭-‬6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬). “Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”

“Everything That Has Breath Shall Praise”

“Make it your daily habit to look for the good things God gives and does.”

“The desire to give praise is hardwired in the human spirit—it’s an impulse we can’t ignore. And as Christians, we’re called to direct that tendency to the One who made us. The apostle Peter says it like this: “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).

It’s a beautiful truth that we are God’s own people—created, chosen, and called by Him to live a life of praise, both on our own and with other believers. In Psalm 34, David says, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). However, he’s not content to be a solo act. He exhorts other believers to join him: “Exalt the Lord with me, and let’s exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:3).

So let’s praise Him at church on Sunday morning and on our front porches at sunset—when we start the workday and each evening as we lie down to rest. Also, let’s remember to praise Him not only for what He has done but also for the excellency of His character. God truly is worthy of our adoration!”

For the sake of not filling up op's activity, I'll post my response here. I'm responding to this post here. And boyyyyyyyyyy is there a lot to unpack there. That said (in case op reads this) I would like first and foremost to thank you for being (moderately) reasonable and respectful. Even tho you did overgeneralize quite a bit (which is a logical fallacy) and make a few assumptions, you didn't shout expletives or call me a "cultist p*do" so I'll thank you for that.

Two more things before I start:

Never. Read. A. Bible. Verse. You take something out of context and you can justify any thing. The Scriptures (because I think "Bible" is a misleading term) are literature and have intense literary design. You can't read things out of context. If you read the Iliad out of context you could think it's about numerous things: how Helen's a s**t (even tho Homer never says that), how stealing women from the men who've enslaved them is wrong (yikes), how we should all burn down cities, how war is dangerous, how war is good, how glory is the best, how Achilles is the worst, how Achilles is the best, how being a real man means killing people in a fit or grief and rage. But the Iliad is actually about the destructive power of rage. Which you only know if you read it correctly. Same with the Scriptures.

It's Ancient Jewish Meditation Literature. And you need to know what those 4 words means because otherwise you will be reading the bible entirely wrong. It's Ancient (i.e. written FOR us but not TO us). It's Jewish (written in Hebrew or by Aramaic/Greek writers thinking in Hebrew; written in a distinctive Near Eastern Style). It's for Meditation (from a word meaning "too mutter". You are to meditate or mutter under your breath the Scriptures day and night for a lifetime). And it's literature (it's art. Divinely inspired art. But art nonetheless. There is an overarching narrative, symbolic key, theme and goal).

(EDIT: Somehow I forgot this last one). Everything EVERYTHING connects BACK to the first 3 chapters of Genesis and FORWARD to the Messiah.

Now. Let's begin.
