The Place of Our Weakness and God's Manifestation

Sometimes we get to a place where we just don’t have the strength to go on anymore. We can’t quote any scriptures, we can’t even muster up a song of praise. Many a time we wind up at this point where we have done all we know to do but in doing we find ourselves empty and maybe even confused. Maybe it’s because God didn’t answer a prayer quick enough or maybe not at all. Maybe the thing that you thought was your sure ticket to financial freedom falls through and now you don’t know how He can come through.

It is at this place....., THERE at your present weakness, that after having done all to stand you simply stand. It is THERE that God promised to meet you and to be everything you need Him to be. You know that dreadful place I speak of,.....“The end of your self” the end of your understanding. Yes it is THERE that He shows up.

Don’t quit, don’t leave, don’t jump ship, don’t bail out.....JUST STAND!

In the old testament God called Himself “I AM” which is a Hebrew idiom for “when you get THERE I will be THERE”. So if you are THERE, don’t get down but one more time trust and believe because you are closer to your miracle than you ever dreamed!
