Grace for your spirit
Indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; II Corinthians 1:9
Most of us like to be in control of our lives. We like to feel confident that we can handle any situation that comes our way all alone. When this confident self trust fails us in time of trouble, we can be hit pretty hard. The apostle Paul found strength by living a life that was out of his control. He didn’t play it safe, and restrict his life to what he could handle alone. At the times that he faced a dim future, he learned to trust in the Lord completely. God has a great work for all of us to do. It is doubtful we will ever accomplish His will inside our “comfort zone.” May we all have the courage to step out of our comfort zone, and into the comfort of the Lord’s complete protection.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
