His Power Through Weakness
Early on in my ‘career’ as a quadriplegic, I learned a valuable lesson: Work with what you’ve got. This is Joni Eareckson Tada and back then, my occupational therapist taught me how to uses the muscles I had left to make up for the ones that did not work. I was able to do wonders with the little I had left. I learned to draw and paint, I learned how to feed myself…in the same way, God is in the ‘occupational therapy’ business. He has often taught weak people without vision to use what they had – whether it was Moses’ rod or David’s sling. And He says in John chapter 20, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
Friend, God has given you sending orders today, so go ahead and yield whatever few resources you have; give Him your limitations. You’ll be amazed what God can do with what little you have. After all, He’s the occupational therapy expert, showcasing His power through weakness.
