We Are Weak But He Is Strong.

 Truly we are weak…but He is strong and this is something we should never forget. 

Be strong they tell us, as if that is a good thing. The trouble with that is we know, deep down we all know how very weak we are in the grand scheme of all things. We know our weaknesses as human beings, so even when we are calling ourselves strong we recognize those who are considered strong people can also be laid low in a single heartbeat.

When we witness what we consider strength in others and long to possess that same sort of fortitude, we have to remember we all are made up individually and as such what consists in our genetic make-up is nothing like what another has. Our strength as such may appear weaker by standards man has set up, but that might not be true at all. For what we are, we may be incredibly strong as such and still that doesn't matter, it is dangerous. Yes, dangerous for us to long for strength in ourselves outside of the strength that is Christ's and Christ's alone. Our strength needs to be found outside of ourselves and in another completely. Our fortitude must be another's we rely upon. We are weak and we fail countless times, but He never fails and is always strong.

We have to give ourselves over to the truth of our weakness and align ourselves through FAITH in Christ for strength. We must cry out how very weak we are and how in need of Christ's strength we will always be! Christ will see us through, we don't see ourselves through, if we think we do it's only an illusion that has been built up by mankind in accordance with the prince of this world, Satan. We are set up to believe we can be strong, so Satan's can lay us low when we fail- over and over again.

Christ is our stronghold, our fortress, our strong tower, our everything.

We are weak…but HE is strong!  Yes, Jesus loves me!  

(Excerpt Ro. 11 E.J. Waggoner) 1800's)

Faith and Humility. 

Pride is the enemy of faith. 

The two can not live together. 

A man can think soberly and humbly only as the result of the faith that God gives. 

"Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him;  but the just shall live by his faith." Hab. 2:4. 

The man who has confidence in his own strength and wisdom, will not depend upon another. Trust in the wisdom and power of God comes only when we recognize and acknowledge our own weakness and ignorance.
