It's a powerful messenger. Don't let it work for the Devil - the destroyer. Listen for God's message in the thorn, and be sure you're letting Agent Thorn work for the winning side. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-good-news-of-the-empty-glass-6562 2012-03-06T13:26:48-05:00 Don't give up; open up to be filled with Christ's strength. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. Now, there's just a little of you, but that means there can be a lot of Him. If your glass is empty, that's good news, because you're about to be filled with Jesus Christ. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2034:18&version=NIV 2009-09-25T09:07:21-05:00 We often find in the Bible that God's grace is most present in the lives of the weak, the humble, and the downtrodden. This passage notes that those who are broken down in spirit are the closest to God. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%201:27&version=NIV 2009-09-24T16:08:26-05:00 God often uses unlikely people and means to demonstrate his glory. This verse states that God specifically uses the weak and foolish to trip up the wise and haughty. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012:9&version=NIV 2009-09-11T13:12:08-05:00 God's power is most obvious not in the military might of a king or the pomposity of a church leader, but in the humility and weakness of average people. It is in the lives of the broken and downtrodden that His grace is most clearly visible.
