Christ's Strength

"And such trust we have through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God" (2 Corinthians 3:4-5 KJV)

Here we sit, this week begun

thinking about this race to run,
hoping no one will see
how weak we feel
and desperate are we.

Sitting here, in God's grace

strength and victory do us embrace,
knowing our weak state
is perfected by his strength,
for that sufficiency we will wait.

And here it is that God will come

completing the work he has begun,
enabling us in this race we run
transforming us by his glory and grace.
when we behold his glorious face.

There is enough grace for us today. Each of us has something we can give. We are here according to God's plan. No one can take our place. No one will fulfill our purpose in his plan.

Whatever this day holds, whatever this week may bring, however this month or year may unfold allow God's love to rule your heart. His grace is sufficient for every need!

Let the Holy Spirit transform you by the glory of the one who saved you by his mercy and grace.

Dear Father, thank you for your grace. Empower us to remember it when we are weak and enable us to rest in your strength. This I pray in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Be strong and courageous today in Christ's strength,
