Humans are some pretty remarkable creatures. We have made some amazing achievements in this world. For example, the Great Wall of China, pyramids, skyscrapers, cars, the internet, and vaccines against diseases. Humans have found ways to look further and further into space. We have harnessed nuclear energy so powerful that it could level entire nations. As of today, there are unmanned aircrafts controlled by people on the other side of the world. The advancements made through human ingenuity is mind boggling.
Yet, in spite of all these remarkable technologies, we still cannot draw closer to the Creator of all things. It does not matter how strong or smart we become, we are unable to make ourselves good enough to stand before a holy God. Only through the strength and confidence found in Jesus can such things be accomplished. In him, we can actually do something no one is able to do, and that is live forever. All we have to do is be humble enough to admit that we cannot fix ourselves; only Jesus can. Then we open up to true strength and divine ingenuity. The divine achievement of Jesus makes us strong enough to love the unlovable; strong enough to be the spouse, child, and friend we are called to be; strong enough to do what is right.
IronMaker’s Daily Challenge: Commit yourself to Christ and walk in the confidence of his strength. Start to mend a broken relationship in your life.
Prayer: Merciful God, forgive me for relying on my own strength. I now humbly submit myself to your will. I seek only your strength. For only in you can I then do all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
