What idols do we turn to instead of turning to the LORD? How might these idols reflect our reliance on our personal strengths? Do we tend to trust in our own abilities, our own intelligence and resources, edging God out through self-reliance? Or do our idols reflect our weaknesses, weakening us as we center our lives around them and live under their control, again edging God out of our lives and circumstances? Center your life on Him so that, in your weakness and in your strength, God will be exalted in and through your life.
I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.—Ephesians 3:16-17 NLT
Prayer: Jesus, may our strength come from Your Spirit’s empowering us so that God will be exalted in our leadership today. In Your name we pray, amen.
