Human strength is a strong deterrent to trusting in Christ. When we rely on our own strength, resources, and knowledge, we assume we can handle situations without help from God. We tend to divide problems into(2)categories: problems that we know require God's help and problems we think we can handle on our own.
If you feel strong in an area of your life, BEWARE! Often your strength, rather your weakness, hinders you from trusting God. God will bring you to a point of weakness if that is what it takes to bring you to trust in Him. Do not despise your weakness, for it leads you to trust in God's strength.
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 (EGD98)
