Be Strong and Wait for the Lord

The apostle Paul was not a super human, but a regular human clothed in weaknesses and limitations like all the rest of us.  On one occasion he pleaded with God to remove an impairment that afflicted him.  God responded to Paul’s plea by pointing out, “My power is made perfect in weakness,” 2 Corinthians 12:9.  We should regard those impairments that God doesn’t take away by his power as friends not enemies.  Every impairment actually prepares us to experience God’s power.  Isn’t that what God said to Paul?  Dear friends, be encouraged to keep putting one foot in front of another when things in life don’t go according to your plans or your wishes.  God designed you to WIN even in the midst of what appears lost.  Since Divine energy works in our favor, we accept Psalm 27:14 as our motto: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
