A Daily Devotional About God's partnership… 2 Corinthians 2:12 We do
not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When
they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves,
they are not wise. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will
confine our boasting to the field God has assigned to us, a field that reaches
even to you. (NIV) No one is helpless. No one is
hopeless. However, there are times in our life when we may feel helpless and
hopeless. At the other extreme in our life there are those times when we are so
full of power and enthusiasm we are able to run over any obstacle with ease. In
either case, at either extreme, we need to let God get a grip on our life. We
mistakenly try to live our life on our own. When we try to live our life on our
own we lose. In our complex world of dependency upon one another, we do not have
the capability or the wherewithal to manage every situation on our own. When we
are faced with what seems to be a situation of total hopelessness, we need to
let God grasp us. We need to let God grasp the situation in which we are
enmeshed. By letting God come into a circumstance, we gain new power and new
perspective. Letting God grasp a situation does not mean we give up control. We
are commissioned to do God's will, but we are not commissioned to sit back as we
try to convince God to do His will for us while we do little or nothing. |
