2\u00a0Corinthians 12:9-10<\/strong><\/p>\n

My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.\u00a0 Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.\u00a0 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.\u00a0 For when I am weak, then I am strong.<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever made a mistake? I have no idea why, but I recently remembered a blunder I made over 50 years ago. I considered going to work for a bakery that would entail delivery of baked products. I was riding along with the manager and he had me hold a special-order pie so it would not be damaged in transit. It was the last delivery before we were to deliver the pie. I opened the door and as I sat down, I felt the horrifying squish of the specially prepared pie. No delivery and no job!<\/p>\n

I have realized many times that it is not my strength that counts, but only my willingness to be used.\u00a0 Several years ago I was having trouble with my Internet connection.\u00a0 When I called my Internet provider about the problem, the first technician did not have the answer and referred me to his manager.\u00a0 After explaining what I was doing, the manager asked me to send him one of my Daily-E-Votionals.\u00a0 After he read it and realized what I was doing, he helped correct the problem and then asked to be included on my list of subscribers.<\/p>\n

Does God work?\u00a0 Yes!\u00a0 I have no idea who that man was or what he was going through.\u00a0 I do know, however, that he received a copy of that message.\u00a0 The Lord is the One who does the real work in individual hearts.<\/p>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
