You know sometimes when you feel so overwhelmed that you don't even know where to begin? Well, I was feeling that way a little bit earlier today, and then I was thinking...why am I stressing out about something that God is in control of? Silly me, why didn't I trust God in the first place? What I'm referring to is being back at school this week and having information overload with clinic requirements, pharmacology...(I could just stop right there). Anyways, I had to stop and remind myself that God is sovereign and has placed me in this position in life, at this school, taking these classes, at this moment for His purpose that I may trust Him and bring glory to His name. I cannot pass these classes on my own, but must rely on Him for strength and endurance. Just like Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "But He said to me, 'My power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." We are weak, and Christ's power is made evident in our lives when we rely on Him to get us through things. Paul was content in his weakness, during insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. Why? Because ultimately Christ was glorified. Paul boasted of his weakness so that Christ would be exalted by proclaiming His power. Can you and I say that we are content when we are weak or enduring insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities in our own lives so that Christ can be glorified?
