What if you could transform your greatest weaknesses into incredible strengths? Join me, Jesse Morgan, as I share my own vulnerabilities and the journey of my close friend, Chris. Once a college athlete with nothing but a lamp and a bag of clothes, Chris relied on his faith to navigate the obstacles at the University of Alabama. His story mirrors the biblical account of Gideon, illustrating how God can turn our smallest efforts into monumental victories. Through these personal narratives, we explore the profound impact of faith and how it can guide us through even the most challenging times.
This week's devotional, titled "Are you Able to Have Faith in God Through Weakness or Struggle?" invites you to reflect on your own vulnerabilities and see them in a new light. With scripture as our guide, including passages from 1 Kings, Philippians, Judges, and Corinthians, we learn that faith isn't about having it all together but trusting in God's love and presence. Whether you're facing financial worries or battling self-doubt, let these stories inspire you to find strength in your struggles and embrace the unwavering love of God.
Key verses & Passages
1 Kings 21:23-24
“And also concerning Jezebel the LORD says: ‘Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
“Dogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds will feed on those who die in the country.”
Philippians 3:2
Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh.
Judges 7:2-7
The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’ Now announce to the army, ‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead. ’” So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.
But the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
So Gideon took the men down to the water. There the LORD told him, “Separate those who lap the water with their tongues as a dog laps from those who kneel down to drink.” Three hundred of them drank from cupped hands, lapping like dogs. All the rest got down on their knees to drink.
The LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the others go home.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
