In this unique time in history, the year of the Lord's favor, in Christ, we are holy and righteous even when we fail and fall because of the the One who's names is: The Lord Our Righteousness.
...the Lord said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast gladly about my weaknesses that Christ's power may rest on me... I delight in weaknesses... For when I am weak I am strong... (2Corinthians 12:9-10)
Failures in obedience are weaknesses to boast in -- He is my RIGHTEOUSNESS -- it is not about me and what I do. It is all about Him. Each time I recognize a failure, a missed opportunity to bless another, a giving into fear, in this I boast. With each failure, I become less. With each failure, I'm more willing to die to self. I want to get out of His way!
He must become greater; I must become less.
John 3:30
My failures -- my sins -- help me to die to self and give Christ more room to be. Less of me equals more of Jesus.
Lord Jesus, that I would continue to become less, that with joy and thanksgiving I accept my weakness and Your grace, that I become less that You may become greater in my life.
