Lift Off: Seeking What Is Above Through The Psalms Of Ascentنموونە

Up To The Challenge

We all have days where we feel we are ill equipped to handle the challenges that are in front of us. But when we’ve placed our faith in Christ we don’t have to trust in what we can do on our own – we have access to God’s supernatural ability. The challenges we face will always be changing as we are working to take new ground. But in Christ we understand that It’s actually in our weakness that His greatest strength can be displayed. What weaknesses in your life have shown you God’s strength?

But the Lord said, “My grace is all you need. Only when you are weak can everything be done completely by my power.” So I will gladly boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can stay in me.

— 2 Corinthians 12:9 ERV

Prayer:  Jesus, thank You for showing me that I can trust You in every circumstance. I’m grateful that I can rely on You for protection and direction as I set out to do Your will. I thank You that I don't have to be shaken when things become too difficult for me and that I can continue to move forward even when things feel uncertain. I’m not looking to my own ability, but I am looking to You for wisdom. Give me Your wisdom for the things I face today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
