A former pastor once said, “Availability is the qualification one needs in order to be used by the Lord.”
I saw that quote in the margin of my Bible today. I had written those words back in 2006. (Yes, I write in my Bible!)
The note was written next to Ephesians 3:20.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us… NIV
I want you to read that again, slowly. Take it in. Read it once more.
The Lord is able to do immeasurably more than I can even imagine…all because of HIS power within me.
Not anything that I am capable of, that is for sure. Do you feel the same way?
On days when I wonder what in the world is going on…
When my vision is blurred by the expected…
When I am available, but feel very insignificant…
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. 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
Thanking God today, that He sees beyond the ordinary of me… to more than I can imagine.
**********************************************
On this day I am thankful for:
* an extra half hour of sleep
* a lunch date with a friend
* the smell of perking coffee
* oldest son in a good mood
* my new flip calendar
* rumpled bed linens
* pets that want my attention
* clear, cold skies
* morning sunlight
* a completely new week
* warm pajamas
* He who knows the plans He has for me.
