Weak...

“Be of good cheer." And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities,  that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)   “It seemed to me that God looked over the whole world to  find a man who was weak enough to do His work,  and when He at last found me, He said, ‘He is weak enough—he’ll do.’  All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for  God because they reckoned on His being with them.”   (Hudson Taylor) Hudson Taylor’s words ring true today, as they have down through history.  When God looks for people to use,  He doesn’t look for the strongest or the smartest, but for the weak and humble in heart.  Then God takes those weak people and equips them for His service.  In other words, God doesn’t always call the equipped, but He always equips the called.   Perhaps today you see yourself as weak, as if your best days are behind you.  My friend, that’s a lie from the enemy.  The truth is that God will use the weak to do amazing things for Him if they’ll only submit to Him.  Let God empower you for His purpose and He’ll use you in profound ways!
