Eat The Word

Text

My body is wasted tired. My spirit is tired. I’m believing that you care. By faith, believing that you’re working out plan, long in action, for my good and your glory.

I don’t despise the way you love me.

"1 Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; 2 from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, 3 for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy."

Psalm 61:1-3

Notes Jesus does not hate our weakness

1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.

Hebrews 5:1-2

He listens. He’s not just acquainted with weakness, he’s beset with weakness. He is gentle with even our ignorance and wayward ways, not just our weakness that we incur when other’s sin against us. His compassion is boundless.

He even meets us in the prison of unforgiveness, loving us with his compassion, drawing us into forgiveness. His kindness, forbearance, and patience empower us to repent and forgive. (Rom 2:4)

"14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 4:14-16

"7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.12 So death is at work in us, but life in you."

2 Corinthians 4:7-12

"26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God."

"

Somehow my weak glance has overwhelmed you.
Somehow my weak love, has stolen away your heart.

Though I’m dark you say I am lovely
Though I’m poor you say that I am beautiful

Text The Promise is For The Week

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me, a sinner!14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.

Luke 18:9

I am comforted. My weakness doesn’t prevent me from grace, but enables me to receive it by faith. I must humble myself still, but I can come knowing my inner illness does not make me unloveable. Christ’s love conquers me, giving me peace with the Father, marriage to the bridegroom, eternity with God.

"And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."
