WHEN WE ARE WEAK!

It’s been said that “God uses broken things.

Broken soil produces a crop, broken clouds give rain, broken grain gives bread, and broken bread gives strength.

I’ve read that when Handel wrote the “Hallelujah Chorus,” his health and his life had hit rock bottom.

His right side had become paralyzed, and all his money was gone.

He was heavily in debt and threatened with imprisonment.

And…he was tempted to give up.

The odds against him seemed too great.

And it was then that he composed his greatest work—Messiah.

It seems that when Handel was weak—he was strong.

When we get to the bottom of things.

When we find that this world ultimately leaves us behind…

…Our bodies ultimately fail us…

…We can’t take money with us…

…And friends fade away…

…Well, we find Jesus is right here with us all along, and when it comes down to it—that is all that really matters.

And we might just find that Rock Bottom isn’t such a bad place to be—because Jesus is with us…

…and His power is made perfect in our weakness.

When we are empty of self—we can be more filled with God!

NEVER ALONE!
There are times in a man's life that confusion set's in and life begins to lose it's bearing... At this point, friends, family and any other person around will seem to have abandoned him to face his fight alone.... He is crowded with neighbors but he is sad and alone... Have you experienced such situations?
Yes!
It is a time when you begin to reflect on mistakes made and maybe lament on how forsaken you've become... But in all this, man realizes that His true and faithful Allie and helper is God.... God does not leave us alone to face our fights... He stands with us in the midst of storms and becomes a shield and strong tower to everyone that calls upon His name.
Psalms 46... God is our refuge and strength.... Be still and know that I am God....

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Romans 12:14.

God does not send messengers to flatter the sinner. He delivers no message of peace to lull the unsanctified into fatal security. He lays heavy burdens upon the conscience of the wrongdoer, and pierces the soul with arrows of conviction. The ministering angels present to him the fearful judgments of God to deepen the sense of need, and prompt the cry, "What must I do to be saved?" [DA 104]

Effective Witnessing!

It is not the greatest talents that God blesses the most. It is the hearts that are the most humble and teachable, those who rely wholly upon Him, that make the greatest impact. The work of God on earth is not sustained by human power but by divine strength. Every duty faithfully done, every act of kindness, every humble prayer offered in faith, brings us closer to the image of Christ. True greatness is found not in prominence, but in service to others.
