“God deliberately chooses imperfect vessels —
those who have been wounded, those with physical or emotional limitations.
Then he prepares them to serve and sends them out with their weakness still in evidence,
so that his strength can be made perfect in that weakness.”

Feeling small and vulnerable
Hopeless against a menacing power of darkness
It all seems lost before we even begin
Yet we cannot be deterred.
We stand undaunted because we do not stand alone….
You will not have to fight this battle.
Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you,
Judah and Jerusalem.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.
2 Chronicles 20:17

Thank you Vincent—happy Monday to you!!!
You’re very welcome Julie 😇 Have a Blessed day my friend 😎
and you did not share with me this morning that you are having surgery on Thursday ….
Prayers are winging their way Heavenward Vincent!!!
I am discovering, all too clearly, that the louder we speak and share the Word of God, our ancient adversary works that much harder to quiet us….shout Vincent, shout loud and long!!!!
I will be here Friday waiting anxiously to hear you shout!!!
I apologize Julie… 😇
🍕🍕🍕
3 slices of heaven 😄 Amen and Amen
Truly
Is it god that chooses deliberately the vulnerable or the vulnerable that resort to god?
No distinction Mike, for we are all vulnerable–
Julie, your response above is so very true. We are all wounded and vulnerable and fragile in different ways. God only asks us to be available and God will give us the ability to do whatever we are asked. Blessings and prayers.
truly Lynda—no one is exempt to the ebbs and flows of life—good or bad 😉
Wonderful!
Absolute truth bomb!!! You are truly unshakeable in your faith and that is awesome!!! 🙂 ❤
