Stay out of God’s Way: Your Weakness is your Worship

In 2 Corinthians chapter 12, Paul asked three times for his prayer to be answered. However, he did not recognize the supernatural power he already had; instead he was trying to use his own strength which was in the way of God’s super-ability. For what God desired to do required Paul’s weakness, not his strength. The Lord replied to Paul in verse 9 “My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (ful-filled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. [Paul realized] Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!” God’s grace always raises the barrier, not the strength of our best works.

Humility is Owning Surrender Enough to Give it Away to God

Moses was repositioned from being a dead slave to living in royalty; his mother saw him as God saw him. Her humility repositioned her to be his nurse. In the palace, Moses learned to be a leader, but his desire to do the will of God put him in a position to walk away from it all. It first looked like he was a slave again, but his meekness made him God’s chosen deliverer; he was never a slave of Pharaoh, but a bond servant of the Almighty God. Unfortunately, his greatest strength became his greatest weakness when he was misled by his own prideful and rebellious passions. In a full state of surrender, we can’t entertain others’ plans for us nor adopt what we think may work for us. We must stand ready, i.e., remain willing and obedient to submit to doing something we may have never considered, desired, or even detested with a pure and perfect heart of worship to the One and Only True God.
