Strength Test

“Lean on me..” As the world spins and time passes. The solutions to lifes difficulties will always trace back to the simplest of things. Lean on me. How easy is that? 

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” - 2 Corinthians 12:9

How easy is that? How simple is the word of the Lord. But how difficult is it for us to trust? In John 16:33 Jesus assured us we’d have trouble in this world. We all know that. We all go through “shit”. And God has prepared us a bottle of “God’s Secret Stuff”(laugh if you’ve watched space jam). 

In the movie Space Jam, the Tune Squad is beat down by the Monstarz and at the half Bugz gives all of them this bottle of water that says “Michaels Secret Stuff”. And it’s really just water, but they believe that this bottle of water is some super strength formula that makes them play better. And they do. Think of that bottle of water as 2 Corinthians 12:9. Reading it, it’s like, “Whoa, God has guarunteed me his grace and power, I can totally do this”. But sometimes we falter, like the Tune Squad when they “ran out” of the Secret Stuff. And we're lost again looking for some more of that placebo, but it’s just God’s way of testing our inclination to depend on His strength. Small strength, allows room for His power. It’s his strength test. As painful as it is. But he is not testing us on our own strength, he’s testing our strength to depend on him. It’s more than a lesson of tolerance. It’s a lesson in endurance, a lesson on dependence. 

How small is my strength. 

When we are we weak, He is strong. - God is Love
