VERSE:
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

THOUGHT:
While other preachers in Paul's day were parading around their
credentials, Paul refused to get into a bragging contest to prove
he was the most impressive of Jesus' disciples. Even though he had
the religious education and Jewish pedigree to silence his rivals,
he preferred to acknowledge the areas of his weakness where God had
triumphed over his own limitations. Let's be careful today about
examining and determining the ministry-worth of someone based on
his or her resume. Instead, let's look for people in whom God's
grace has triumphed.
PRAYER:
Almighty and loving Father, thank you for sustaining and
enabling me to serve you in ways I would never have dreamed of
doing. Please help me serve you faithfully as I depend upon your
grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
