In Our Weakness, He Is Strong!

Good Morning Christian Peeps!  But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  II Corinthians 12:9  I am reminded of an event that took place not too long ago.  I was invited to speak at a Women's Conference in Oklahoma.  It was my first real invite and I was so excited.  A little scared but excited.  I studied, prepared, prayed and come that morning I was ready to go.  I was supposed to be the first speaker on stage but the gentleman running the conference kept moving me back on the agenda.  At first I was like that's okay.. I need to wake up some more anyway.  But as I continued to get moved back, I began to say what's going on Lord?  Everyone of the speakers ahead of me touched on part of my presentation and my confidence began to wane.  I was just starting to get my inner whine on when a lady walked into the room and the holy spirit spoke and said that is why you are here.  I immediately began to pray but also wonder if I should change what I had planned to say.  Trying once again to work things in my own way.  Well, needless to say, I finally got my turn but then my CD that I had recorded my soundtrack on wouldn't play.  I was counting on that intro to lead into my planned speech.  I had to take a detour and totally surrender my time on that stage to God.  I had to depend on him to give me whatever he wanted me to say.....and he did.  Afterward the lady purchased my CD and sent me a long email about how she really needed to hear those words that God gave me that day.  It was then I realized that in my weakness God can then take over and really use me the way he needed to.  I want to always be weak for Christ.  I don't ever want to get in his way and take the lead.  Thank you God for creating that moment of weakness so that I would let you be strong.  

Be Blessed!
