Reflection 102- God Uses the Weak

If you were God, and you had some glorious task you wanted accomplished, who would you choose? Someone with manifest gifts? Or someone who is weak, humble and appears to have very few natural gifts? Surprisingly, God most often chooses the weak for the greatest tasks. This is one way through which He is able to manifest His almighty power (See Diary #464).Reflect, today, upon whether you have a high and lofty view of yourself and your abilities. If so, be careful. God has a hard time using someone who thinks this way. Seek to see your lowliness and humble yourself before the glory of God. He wants to use you for great things, but only if you allow Him to be the one who acts in and through you. That way, the glory belongs with Him and the work is accomplished according to His perfect wisdom and is a fruit of His abundant Mercy.Lord, I offer myself for Your service. Help me to always come to You in humility, acknowledging my weakness and sin. In this humble state, please shine through so that Your glory and power will do great things. Jesus, I trust in You.
