What it takes

What it takes

2 Cor. 3:5

Not that we are sufficient [fit, qualified and have adequate ability] within ourselves,

but our sufficiency [adequacy, competency, and capability] are from God.
-------------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, we understand that we have to have a degree of confidence - for people who lack confidence are unsure of themselves and insecure, and go bumbling through life, never making a good impression on anyone and are always failing. But, we have learned, over time, that WHAT IT TAKES to have Your power working through us to work effectively in Your Kingdom has very little to do with any of our own natural skills or abilities of being a self-sufficient, confident, capable, educated, or being a well-adjusted person  .  .  .   and that it has all to do with our dependence on You to be at work in and through us.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
