He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love. Psalm 147:10-11
With the summer coming to a close and school almost back in session, the month of August always makes me reminisce about 'two-a-day' football practices in the blistering heat of East Alabama. Most players start the preseason off competing for a spot as a starter on the team. During practice, the players give their best effort on the field with hopes that the coaching staff will award them with a coveted position on the team. As exciting and competitive as this entire process is, I am convinced that God is more impressed with our faith than our actual abilities.
If we want to accomplish great things in this life and delight God in the process, we must be willing to step out in faith and allow God to accomplish great things through us. Our abilities give us the potential to do good while our faith gives us the power to do good.
Our potential and limited power is not sufficient; we must change our limitations to an unlimited faith in God!!
