...where I'm trying to stop my car and the brakes don't work. I end up pushing on the brake as hard as humanly possible and the car finally comes to a rolling stop. Grrr...It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure that one out. My life is moving in a direction where things are happening that affect me, but over which I have no control. I'd sure like this to stop, but that isn't going to happen any time soon. But, hey, like it says in 2 Corinthians, His strength is made perfect in my weakness, right?
I like how the verse is stated in "The Message:"
My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. - 2 Corinthians 12:9, the message
So, if I really believe God's Word, I need to trust that God will either stop the car for me, or make that baby fly. Either way it will be a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. And I need to be glad for the result He brings to bear no matter what.
That's a tough one. I really want the car to stop.
