Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud. Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the LORD will be joyful. (Proverbs 16:19-20 NLT) The realization that my strength is a hindrance to God’s supply of life is a great eye-opener. A man who has genius is apt to rely on his genius rather than on God. A man who has money is apt to rely on money instead of God. So many of us trust in what we have got in the way of possessions instead of entirely on God. All these sources of strength are sources of double weakness. Once we realize that our true life is “hid with Christ in God,” that we are “complete in Him,” in whom “dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,” then His strength is radiantly manifested in our mortal flesh. The great stumbling block in the way of some people being simple disciples is that they are gifted, so gifted that they won’t trust God. So clear away all those things from the thought of discipleship; we all have absolutely equal privileges, and there is no limit to what God can do in and through us.-Oswald Chambers I am so thankful for all of my blessings. But, may I never forget that its not because of anything Ive done or anything about me. It is all because of my amazing God! Any good that can come from me or to me is all for glory to the King! Without Christ we are nothing, but with Him we have everything! #praisetheLord
