VERSE:

VERSE: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for mystrength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will Irather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may restupon me. -- 2 Corinthians 12:9 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+12:9&translation=kjvTHOUGHT: While other preachers in Paul's day were parading around theircredentials, Paul refused to get into a bragging contest to provehe was the most impressive of Jesus' disciples. Even though he hadthe religious education and Jewish pedigree to silence his rivals,he preferred to acknowledge the areas of his weakness where God hadtriumphed over his own limitations. Let's be careful today aboutexamining and determining the ministry-worth of someone based onhis or her resume. Instead, let's look for people in whom God'sgrace has triumphed.PRAYER: Almighty and loving Father, thank you for sustaining andenabling me to serve you in ways I would never have dreamed ofdoing. Please help me serve you faithfully as I depend upon yourgrace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
