His Grace is Sufficient!
Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.” Judges 16:28, ESV
Over the past few days I had been extremely tired when waking up in the morning. I didn’t feel like praying or doing anything at all. Yet, each morning I still headed down to my prayer room, hearing the voice of a dear friend saying “All He needs you to do is show up”. I usually start off with praise and worship music and the anointing love of God comes over me in an amazing way!
After I had finished praise and worship, I was heading back to bed when I heard something fall in my prayer room. I turned around and went back to see what had fallen. I’m not sure what happened once I returned to the room, but by the time I had left, four devotionals had been written! In that moment God taught me that even in our weakest moments, He gives us all we need to complete the assignment He has for us!
Our job is to give ourselves over to God in whatever state we are in and He will take care of the rest. God is just looking for someone through whom He can show Himself to the world. He does not need our educational degree or even a completely refreshed body; just a willing heart. I only went in the room for prayer, having decided that afterward I was going back to bed. But as I released my exhausted body over to God, He took over and poured out of me the messages He wanted to give to others. When we let go and just give ourselves to God, He always gives back to us in abundance!
Before Sampson died, he asked God to give him strength one last time so he could perform the will of God. God blessed Sampson and it was one of the greatest battles he had ever won! (Judges 16).
Father,
Thank you that no matter how tattered we are, if we release ourselves to you, we are strengthened, and you can still use us for your glory. We give you praise that in your presence we are never useless to you! Amen.
