My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.<\/em> II Corinthians 12:9b<\/p>\n

Do you feel too weak to bear the struggles and the temptations in your life?\u00a0 Good news!\u00a0 We have all the power of the Almighty God available to us.\u00a0 He delights in showing His strength in our weaknesses.<\/p>\n

We see it over and over in the Bible.\u00a0 Moses was hiding out in the desert, Gideon was cowaring behind the farm equipment, and Jonah was running away in a ship.\u00a0 These were weak, ineffectual guys who were not likely picks for leaders.\u00a0 Yet God showed His own strength in a miraculous way.\u00a0 It was obvious that it wasn\u2019t Moses\u2019 leadership skills or Gideon\u2019s bravery that won the day\u00a0 It was God.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you are tired of the struggle and the failure.\u00a0 Turn to the all-sufficient God and tell Him so.\u00a0 He promises grace to those who are weak and power to the helpless.\u00a0 He has all the strength you need to resist temptation — or for any other difficulty you can ever face.<\/p>\n

Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/em>
