Great Things for His Glory
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”—2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
In 1963, when astronaut Ed White II ventured out on America’s first spacewalk, he carried a handful of mustard seeds sewn into his spacesuit as a symbol of his faith and to help him feel safe on the journey. Norman Vincent Peale reached out to White before his mission and wrote, “You don’t need to take a mustard seed with you as a symbol of your faith. You have the faith itself and the inner sturdiness that will carry you through this tremendous and rewarding experience.” When you need a little strength in your life, know that you, too, have the “inner sturdiness” to do great things for God’s glory.
Dear Lord, give me a clear vision of Your will and give me the strength to follow it.
