I caught Charles Stanley on TV the other night and he was sharing about how when we feel inadequate it can be a blessing....I've never thought about it quite that way before, but here's a little summary of what he said:
That we all feel inadequate at different times but it can be a blessing. The blessing of realizing it and humbly acknowledging our inadequacy to God is that it:
• Relieves us of the burden of trying to accomplish things in our own strength. (Whatever He's called us to do- He takes full responsibility to enable us to do it, when we depend on Him)
• Frees God to use us to the maximum of our potential.
• Allows God to receive all the glory due Him.
• Enables us to walk in contentment and quietness of spirit.
Blessings!

In His Hands

"Always Remember, when God made you, He did so with a purpose and a plan. He saw all of your days before you lived one of them and placed over you the covering of His protective love. He has allowed nothing to come into your life that has not first been screened through that love. His hand has remained upon you to this very day. He calls you by name. You are His beloved child...the apple of His eye... the delight of His heart. Today you are in the exact place He wants you to be, and tomorrow He will be with you as He has always been - in goodness, in kindness, in faithfulness."

One Day at a Time

"Be content with what each day brings, rejoicing in your God, for surely He will deliver you, He is the One who has brought you here. His way is discernable to the eye of faith. His heart is surely your strong tower. In His affection you have security. In His love are your hope and peace. Each day holds some small joy that will escape you if you are preoccupied iwth tomorrow. Nothing daunts your Father; live in the full blessing of His smile. Hold to His word; it is a rock that will not be moved and is a firm place to stand. Live one day at a time. Simply striving to bring joy to your Father's heart is enough. Know that He loves you and find peace and rest in Him." (-Francis Roberts)

Matt 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
