Weakness is strength

"Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.  Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” 1 Corr 1:18-22

Moses the stutterer. David the youngest and nearly ignored shepherd boy.  Gideon- huh.. oba what?? Mary the previously unknown virgin. Peter the fumbler (Jesus even "called him" Satan!). Grace the girl.

Forgive me Lord when I shirk from the fight
Forgive me Lord
Turns out I have been asking myself the wrong question repeatedly

Oh how often I forget that because I am in the Lord, my weakness does not have to be weak. Oh how many times I forget about the times that He has raised me up and caused me to stand on high mountains... that there have even been times I felt weak but I got to lead the strong. Times when I felt like I had reached the end of my rope only to find heaps of sisal.

Walk away from the track
Shut my mouth
Fold my hands
And sit down
Saying to myself "I can't"

Because now I get it
Now I know
When I am weak, then I am strong
Because your power is made perfect in my weakness
I can actually do all things through Your strength

I ask myself: Can I do it? Can I take it? Can I overcome?
Instead I should be asking: Is it Your will for me? 
Because as it turns out
I have power that I know nothing about.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Eph 3:20-21
