God is always doing us good...even when He sends us people who make us feel worthless. Wonder why I would think that they make me feel that way when it's actually my lofty strongholds gone awry and I need that approval. There are a couple of thoughts for me straight from God's heart in these verses:
2 Cor 10:4 ~ We have Divine Power to destroy strongholds. Can I even grasp that thought? For this moment, this place, this circumstance---anything that trips me up and makes me want to live falsely.
2 Cor 10:18 ~ "It is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." What matters most is that it is the LORD Himself commending me. This goes beyond all reason.
2 Corinthians 10:17
ReplyDelete"Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
That is a great memory verse!
Today I boast in the LORD my Mighty God. He has taken my thoughts captive and replaced them with His thoughts towards me.
I am loved. Much loved. By Him.
He is my AMEN. He is the Author and Finisher of my life.
He refreshes my SOUL! No "thing" on earth can refresh me. The supernatural power of my Mighty God causes me to bow in battle and sit at His feet, while His army fights for me.
He...and no one else or no one more willing...defends my honor.
I boast in the Lord. He is my Mighty God!!!
Amen, Deborah! He is our Mighty God!
ReplyDeleteBoasting in Him today also, here in Spring, TX. He is mightily at work in our lives here--sometimes with tests but always with the sweetest gifts. Something is stirring me to draw closer, cling tighter. He loves us and cares about the details. He sustains.
