I can't, but...

God doesn’t need us. Yes, you read that right. God doesn’t need us to accomplish His plans. He doesn’t need us using our finite minds and limited skills and abilities. God uses us when we come to the end of ourselves and the only wisdom and strength left available to draw from is His. Is this when we usually throw in the towel and quit? Is this when we draw the line and say, “I can’t.”? Is this when we stop… right when God was going to pick up the ball? How many times have we missed that victorious moment because we quit – just when things were going to get good. Have you thrown your hands up in surrender – only to focus on the doom and gloom of your exasperation? God, the Father, loves you. Jesus, His Son, has rescued you from sin, death and the devil and brings you His peace. And His Spirit has arrived on the scene to bring you wisdom and strength. Surrender. Surrender in the knowledge that God has got you covered. His best will show up for you. Rest in that belief – God shows up. Instead of facing a challenge with, “I can’t.”… say, “I can’t on my own, but God is here and He will be my Strength.”
