Affirmation of God: The power of the Holy Spirit is shown in my weakness.

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:3-4 NLT: I came to you in weakness– timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was powerful among you.

 

Why do we attempt to hide our weaknesses? We do more good by going in them- timid and trembling.  Do you want to be righteous and holy? Great news, you canNOT do it! How is that great news? In your weakness the power of the Holy Spirit is revealed.

Don’t sweat the fact you failed, again, to live up to the demands of the law. Don’t sweat that you don’t know what to say or even how to pray. The Holy Spirit lives in you if you believe. If you ask the Father to save you and believe that Jesus died for you then the promise of the Holy Spirit is alive and well and dwelling in YOU.

Like Paul we can go in our weaknesses and show that it is the all-surpassing power of God working in us, NOT us.

Do you trust the Holy Spirit to be shown in your weakness?

Today’s Prayer: Father God thank You for Your Spirit. Thank You for choosing me. Thank You for the grace and peace given to me through Jesus Christ. Thank You for giving me every spiritual gift I will ever need. In Jesus and Your Spirit I find strength. Jesus alone has made me acceptable and I will boast only about You and what You have done through my weaknesses. Plant Your seeds through me today and may I work for Your purpose. Amen
