Subtle Danger!
posted on Friday, January 6th, 2012The dangerous assumption in today’s culture is that we unknowingly accept that our greatest asset is our own ability. Please do not misunderstand me, I believe Philippians 4:13 but the key is through Christ. Often we are tempted to take credit for our accomplishments but the truth is we cannot accomplish anything of value apart from God. I have found that God puts me intentionally in situations where I come face to face with my desperate need for him. According to scripture God actually delights in exalting our inability. In this process God makes it clear that with man this is impossible so in the end when it is accomplished God makes known the glory of His name. Herod blew it when he tried to steal God’s glory and the worms came and ate his flesh. Nobody takes God’s glory and gets by with it! Our greatest asset is the ability of God in us!
