Enabled

What we are enabled to do today and what we will actually do are two different things. We are told that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
A good goal for the day is to lessen that gap and step out in faith on some of those things that are humanly impossible. We have a tendency to explain away our inactivity by lowering the Bible standard to our level of experience. God is interested in showing His power. The question comes down to leadership. It is exciting ti live in the leadership of the Holy Spirit and be dependent on God. We can easily get accustomed to operating without His help.

2 questions for today:

What is the Holy Spirit leading me to do?

What am I asking God to do for me that I can do by myself? ( or that He has told me to do?)

"My message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, so that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." ( 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, NASB )
