If you start thinking about all the problems you’ve ever had, then you’ll realize that they all have one thing in common: you. When you reach that point, the best choice is to humble yourself and confess your inadequacy.
This is what King Jehoshaphat did when three powerful armies were coming to wage war against him. He said, “We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do” (2 Chronicles 20:12, NLT). When he confessed, he was able to worship instead of worry.
As I meditated upon what the apostle Paul says, “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5, CSB), I’m reminded of how pride repels God’s grace, but humility attracts it. And, I desire to let God pour His grace into my life.
Indeed, Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5, NIV).
As the apostle Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, NKJV); and I pray for Christ to give me strength as I confess my inadequacy whenever I face the impossible tasks ahead of me.
In what situations have you confessed your inadequacy?
Truly, the apostle Paul described how God requires us to believe that we’ll have eternal life through Jesus believing we have been saved by grace through our faith (Ephesians 2:8, NIV).
