Avenue To Power
March 26, 2012

When Tarah was in high school, she had a growing fear that she would someday battle a serious illness. So she began to pray—asking God to spare her from this imagined illness. Then she reached a turning point in her thinking, and she yielded her future to God no matter what.

Years later, Tarah’s doctor found a cancerous tumor, which was successfully treated with chemotherapy. Tarah says that because she had entrusted her future to God, she was ready when the disease came. Her problem became an avenue for God’s strength.

This idea of surrendering to God can be seen in Paul’s life as well. His surrender came after the problem­—“a thorn in the flesh”—had developed (2 Cor. 12:7). Paul prayed repeatedly about this difficulty, pleading for the Lord to take it from him. But God responded, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (v.9). Understanding this, Paul adopted a positive view: “Most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. . . . For when I am weak, then I am strong” (vv.9-10).

In facing our fears and struggles, it’s vital that we yield totally to God. When we do, God can use our problems as an avenue for His power.

Whenever life’s burdens oppress you And trials are too much to face, Remember God’s strength in your weakness; He’ll give you His power and grace. —Sper

Wielding our power is no substitute for yielding our will to God’s power.

Read: 2 Corinthians 12:1-10

I will . . . boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. —2 Corinthians 12:9

Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 13-15

Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
I took my first long motorcycle ride since my husband’s death a year ago.

My brother was visiting Key Largo and called me about 9:00AM, and I just hopped on the bike and rode non-stop 94 miles to see him!
Hung out on the ocean, Had some great seafood, hugs all around, and back on the bike for the 94 mile ride home.

It was delightful! :-)

Evening, Kathy. To answer an earlier question, spring came super early here — last week was close to 80.

Warming up yet in Alaska?

Also, the rest of the week is going to be pretty hectic
and I won't be around the Canteen much.
But, please stay right where you are.
Take a break.
Chat up the troops.

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
