Ok, I thought I was done talking to you guys tonight. But then I realized that I gave you the update but not my verses for today. Have I mentioned recently that I don’t believe in coincidences? From the songs God played for me today, to the devotion I had this afternoon, our gracious Father has been loving on me and reminding me that no matter what Man says, HE is the one sitting on the throne.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10
8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. 9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
As Kayleigh continues to have treatment and scans and as I continue to petition the Lord on her behalf (because I will be petitioning the Lord for as long as I have breath in my body – if nothing else I’m persistent) I take comfort in Paul’s words. He too asked the Lord to take something away and the Lord did not answer his request as Paul had hoped. Rather, God reminded Paul that “grace is all you need”. So – we will boast in our weakness, in the futility of our situation, because we know that in our weakness HE becomes strong, and ultimately God’s glory is what matters.
Good night for real
Until tomorrow,
