Spiritual Power

I have just one quote to share with you today, but it is a very good and profound one. I have been dwelling on it and thinking about the way God works. I hope it blesses y'all. It is from a book I have been reading lately called, "Called to Lead" by John MacArthur. And he writes:

"God is still bypassing the elite. He's leaving the proud intellectuals in universities and seminaries, and He's looking for clay pots who will carry the treasure of saving truth with humility. By using frail and common people, God makes it clear that the power is His, not ours. The fact that God can make spiritual leaders out of such unsightly clay jars is proof of the greatness of His power. Spiritual power is not the product of human genius or human technique. The power is from God.
"And the wonderful thing is that our weakness doesn't prove fatal to the cause of truth...knowing our weakness isn't a disadvantage; it is essential to what we do as leaders." (pg. 114 - 115)

I don't know about you, but that is powerful to me! It signifies to me how it is not about us. It is completely about God and His glory. We can just get in the way - but His power is beyond us!

We are clay pots, and yet there is a beautiful treasure hidden in us if we belong to Jesus Christ. It is our job to let that shine through, even in our frail bodies.

God does crazy things! His power is made perfect in our weaknesses and He uses you and me to be His vessels to carry His message and to shine His light in dark places. He involves us, not by our own volition, but because He wants to. He wants us and we can play a role in the greatest thing in this universe.

I hope you're blessed today and I pray that blessing over you!

Love you all more than you know!

To Him Be The Glory!
