In our weaknesses he is strong


Hello everyone, I hope you are well. Today I was reading a bible plan on the you version  bible app called make today matter, and init it spoke about weaknesses. Which got me really thinking, it brought to my attention how God used my weakNess today to overcome fear and bring out his strength through me. It's a funny thing weakness, we  the human race don't really like to see ourselves as having weakness do we. I hope today I can encourage you through a little testimony that our King of Kings and Lord of Lords will overcome any fear tactics the enemy uses against you.

My weakNess/fear is women, yeah of all things, the same sex as me. That stands back throughout my life, rejection and being looked down on. Stuff like that. But that's not the point of today. Before we moved down to Cambridge I struggled to the extreme, to spend time with women on my own. I'd panic and my heart would race so fast, there would be times I wouldn't be able to push a single word out of my mouth. A lot of people thought I was a quiet person. This would frustrate me, as anyone who truly knew me, knew I was far from quiet. I could literally talk for England at times. But something gripped my voice and held me back from getting to know anyone. Men on the other hand. Not a problem. I had a lot of guy friends.

What's that got to do with today, I hear you. Praise God. Well I was invited to spend time with some moms at the local garden centre for a drink. I agreed and said I would love to come along. Baring in mind I've never been invited to spend time with ladies that don't attend church. It's always been with people from church. So immediately my heart started pounding. But then peace came over me. As today arrived I started getting abit nervous. And while walking to the garden centre I prayed, I asked God to be with me, to put words into my mouth, I asked him to help me not just sit there in silence, to give me the strength to push myself to get to know these moms. After praying I let it go and went with the flow of the gathering. and to my amazement everything went really well. there was no awkward moments. I can honestly say I left feeling over the moon. Granted i don't know what the other moms thought, but to me it was an accomplishment and a huge answer to prayer. Praise God.

I hope this encourages you, and I pray that God will help you where ever you are in your life. What ever giants are trying to intimidate you. I pray and stand with confidence that those giants will fall. because at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tounge confess he is Lord. So my wonderful brothers and sisters don't let the fear of failure crush who you truly are in Jesus Christ. Be blessed

let's pray.
Father God I thank you for your hand in my life. I thank you that through my weaknesses you are strong. I thank you that I can go through life with my head held high knowing that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords care and loves me, and wants to work through my life. Help me have the confidence to face life's challenges knowing that you'll never leave me nor forsake me. in Jesus name amen.
