This last week has been one of those weeks. You know, one where there is just not enough “you” to go around.
On some of those days, I was complaining outwardly. On some, I was whining inwardly, you know, “can’t someone else do this?” “Do you have to be sick today?” etc., etc. There were also times when I was kind, gracious and had a good attitude.
What makes the difference? Where my focus is!
This week is going to be another one of those weeks. I want to challenge myself, and you to. I want to remember this…
2 Cor. 12:9
And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
I want Christ’s power to be perfected in me. I guess that means I will have to recognize my own weakness, hm?
Lord, help me to remember that it is Your grace that I want to show through my life, not my own sufficiency! Give me graceful thoughts, graceful attitudes and graceful words. Amen
