My Utmost 02.27.08

"The well of your incompleteness is deep..."

That's not something I want to admit. It's true, but I don't want to admit it.

I want to believe I can handle the problems that come my way. That's the definition of a man...the definition of an American...the definition of a leader...the definition of a Christian. Right? So it certainly is the definition of an American Christian man who has been called of God to lead in His Church. Isn't it?

But more and more, I'm discovering the depth of my incompleteness. I'm learning that my resources are so shallow. My solutions are so unsatisfying. My abilities are so weak. But God...

Oh, those wonderful words...but God.

When I recognize my incompleteness, God can demonstrate His perfection. When I recognize my shallowness, God can demonstrate His depth. When I recognize my weakness, God can demonstrate His strength.

God, shine Your glory through me.
