Depend on Him

"We may sometimes be tempted to think God has chosen us to serve him and others in his world because of our present or potential strengths. God is a talent spotter. He sees things in us that he can use and develop and so invites us to be part of his purposes. There is some truth in this. God does encourage us in our talents and grants us competence so as to do his work. He does not see us as worthless rubbish. And yet it is perhaps a more profound truth that he chooses us because of our weaknesses. He looks around for some weak person and settles on that person. Why? Because such weakness will prompt such a person to depend more on his power." - David Reay

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

To Stand

Ephesians 6:12-13 King James Version (KJV) 12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
