Are You Weak Enough?

February 18, 2007 at 8:00 am | In Awake My Heart |

Out of weakness were made strong. ~ Hebrews 11:34

Baxter references two great Christian thinkers in today’s devotion:

The Lord was looking for a man weak enoug to use, and He found me. ~ Hudson Taylor
We may easily be too big for God to use, but never too small. ~ D.L. Moody

In Job 28, we learn that the wind, water and lightening - despite their unbelievable power - always take a line of least resistance. The Spirit of God - despite an unaimaginable power - also seeks that same line. However, in the human mindset, one that is corrupted with the ways of the world, we often produce resistance that is too great for that Spirt to work in us. That’s not to say it cannot - that’s to say God chooses for it not to do so.

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will allow God to break us down - that we will remove the resistence - and allow the Spirt of God to work in us.
