Exodus 15:11-13

Who is like You, O LORD, among the mighty ones?
Who is like You, glorious in holiness,
Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
You stretched out Your right hand;
The earth swallowed them.
You in Your mercy have led forth
The people whom You have redeemed;
You have guided them in Your strength
To Your holy habitation.

A Time of Mulling-Over...

Dear Reader,

Bear with me while I muddle through something and feel free to comment on anything in these next few lines.

First, we know that it is in our weakest moments that God is strong. We know that we can't be strong in and of ourselves, we need the strength of Christ to live (1 Cor 1:25; 2 Cor 12:9-10). So, since God's strength is our ONLY certain and constant source strength, and since His strength is perfected through our weakness, doesn't it seem to follow that our goal, as Christians, should be to strive to be as weak in ourselves as possible? To constantly remain soft, malleable, and vulnerable, and to increase our dependence on Him?

Now, seeing that, is it fair to say that the mark of true success in our Christian walk is not how confident, or strong we feel, whether in doing what we should, or in NOT doing what we shouldn't, but rather the mark of our success is how unsure of ourselves, and weak we feel? The truly successful Christian is one that is striving to be broken and humble, so when we begin to feel that we're "doing good" that should be a danger sign that we may not be fighting our pride the way we should.

Right?

A Powerful Prayer...In Song

Title: Lord, Feed Your Children
Artist: Gaither Vocal Band
Album: Better Day, 2009

My vessel is empty
Though once, I had plenty
My soul is barren and dry
Somewhere flows a fountain
Beyond distant mountains
Let me drink from the River of Life

Lord, feed Your children
As we stand here, willing
To eat from the Table of Life
Drink from the fountain
That flows from the mountain
Let me feast from the Father's supply

So long, I have hungered
Seems no man could number
The days that I've longed to be
In a land filled with honey
Where the rivers are running
Very soon now, will I taste and see

Lord, feed Your children
As we stand here, willing
To eat from the Table of Life
Drink from the fountain
That flows from the mountain
Let me feast from the Father's supply

Drink from the fountain
That flows from that mountain
Let me feast from the Father's supply
