Supernatural Lessons Through The Natural

God’s strength is enough. But I had to get to the end of mine to learn that. Often the thing that God lays out for us to do is bigger than we are. I love that God teaches me supernatural lessons through the natural. 

Our weakness reveals God's strength. God allows us to encounter situations that eat away at our strength and confidence in self to expose our need for Him. The revelation of total weakness is a powerful place. It is where God meets His People. God chooses those who are inadequate in and of themselves so that the ultimate glory goes to Him. You see, when we serve out of our weakness and God's strength, it is obvious to everyone that the power of the Holy Spirit and not the strength or wisdom of man has accomplished great things.

Strength of character is more important than a strong body. Human strength relies on what we see, say and do in the midst of crisis or need. However, strength of character and faith requires dependence on what we know to be true but have not seen or experienced in the natural. 

Without faith demonstrated by total dependency on God – there is no strength. Without the Power of God – there is no victory. Winning or losing is dependent on strength and endurance – all of which come from God for His People who have yielded their heart and life to the Lord.

Faith enables people to be people and it lets God be God. Acknowledge that you can't do it, but God can. 

Blessings,
Dalinda
