This Week's Devotional
This Week's Devotional

Peacocks And
Their Kin
by: David Roper 

 

Male peacocks are resplendent creatures with iridescent blue-green plumage and elongated trains tipped with "eyes" colored in hues of gold, red, and blue. They are strikingly beautiful birds, but they have ugly feet!

 

To be honest, most of us have some type of physical limitation. It may be something we've borne all our lives or one we've recently acquired.

 

Paul described his deficiency as a "thorn in the flesh" that kept him humble (2 Cor. 12:7-9). Three times he asked the Lord to remove it, probably thinking that he could then serve God better. But the Lord assured him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Paul replied, "Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

 

One of the ironies of faith is that God often chooses us to accomplish His most important tasks despite our imperfections, not because of our speaking ability, looks, or fitness for the task. Missionary Hudson Taylor said, "God was looking for someone weak enough to use, and he found [you and me]!" When we find our strength in Him, He can use us in ways we could never imagine (v.9).


Lord, I have many weaknesses. Please show Your
strength through me by using me in whatever way You please. May others see You at work in me and praise Your name. Amen.
God's strength is best seen in our weakness.
