Here is the truth we must learn by heart: God uses the weak to reveal his glory! Rebecca Manley Pippert

God’s word is alive and powerful! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until it discovers the desires and thoughts of our hearts. Hebrews 4:12 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/heb.4.12.CEV

But he replied, “My gift of undeserved grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So if Christ keeps giving me his power, I will gladly brag about how weak I am. 2 Corinthians 12:9 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/2co.12.9.CEV

What Jesus shows us so very vividly is that we are created to be God-dependent, not self-sufficient. Rebecca Manley Pippert

Don’t be afraid. I am with you. Don’t tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories. Isaiah 41:10 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/isa.41.10.CEV

When we learn to celebrate our smallness and to depend upon the power of God, it affects every aspect of our lives. Rebecca Manley Pippert

So love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 CEV https://bible.com/bible/392/deu.6.5.CEV
