The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. (1 Samuel 2:4)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Wanted men with feet of clay

We all have feet of clay and are inconsistent in our walk with Christ, but God can still use us as instruments for his glory. The heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 also had feet of clay, but God cared for them and turned them into spiritual giants. We can be heroes of faith, like the prostitute Rahab, by having faith in God and doing what is good as a consequence of that faith. Our feet may be made of clay, but our soul can be a humbled heart that loves the Lord and yearns to serve him. God waits for us, with all our imperfections, to settle on the mighty Rock of Christ. Despite our clay feet, God can still perform the daily miracle of picking us up and guiding us. Read more...

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10)
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13)
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; (Ephesians 3:16)
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. (Isaiah 40:29)

Do you identify with the idea that, despite our weaknesses, God can use us for His glory? It's a powerful reminder that in our imperfections, we can be useful instruments in the Lord's hands.

Sabino Marroquin Lopez: God is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Amen.
Hello, Sabino! How beautiful it is to remember the words of Psalm 23:1, where we are assured that with God as our Shepherd, we shall lack nothing. It is a declaration of trust and complete dependence on the Lord. Do you feel strengthened when you remember that God watches over you and provides for all your needs? It is a beautiful reminder of His faithfulness and constant care for His children. Blessings on your journey of faith!
Efigenia Vidal : In moments of weakness, when I seem alone, in the midst of affliction, it is not so. For the Lord tells us in His word of life that He gives us strength in the midst of the storm, so that through His help, we may row to safe harbor, under His guidance and protection. God can remain silent; He does not abandon us in the desert that we must often traverse in life, where we must hold onto His hand, because we cannot do it by our own strength. But in the midst of it all, praying, and praying until we see His glory manifested, He makes Himself present according to His will; this is what helps us strengthen our faith. I trust that He will not let me suffer unless it is His will, and even if it were, I continue to trust because in Him I have life. God bless you.
What a beautiful and encouraging message, Efigenia! It's comforting to remember that in the midst of our weaknesses and afflictions, the Lord sustains and strengthens us. Your testimony reflects a deep trust in God and an unwavering faith in His perfect plan for our lives. It is in those moments of greatest need that we experience His unfailing faithfulness and love. May your testimony inspire others to cling to the hope that only God can give. May God richly bless you on your journey of faith!
