“WEAKEST LINK!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

A while back there was a TV show called “The Weakest Link”. It was also then made into a board game.

Through a series of questions and votes the contestants and players would vote on the person they believed was the weakest link and that person was eliminated from the competition or the game.

Yesterday that phrase came to me, and I began to think of the weakest link in myself, or the weakest part of me physically, mentally but especially Spiritually!

Each of us have places in our bodies that we are weaker in and each of us have memory or mental places that are weaker, and may I say each of us have those places where we are weaker in the Spiritual realm.

What are the weakest links in our walk with God?

May I tell you that the devil will probe and probe until that weak place is found and then he will attack that place.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

There are places in your walk and relationship with Jesus that are so strong the enemy knows he cannot be successful in temptation, but there are other places that may prove not as strong, and the enemy of your soul aims for that.

For example, in my life I could sit in a room filled with alcoholic beverages and never be tempted to take a drink. But there are other things that come against me that are not so strong and I have to fight those with the word and the power of God.

You may have a problem with alcohol, drugs, gossip, worry, anger, fear, doubt, overworking, saying no to good so you can have great, etc.!

The declaration that you cannot conquer what you do not confront is so true! If the devil can keep us from recognizing our weakest link in the spirit, he can keep attacking there.

But I have good news! The word of the Living, Loving, God tells us truth!

(Notice the difference in living and loving is the “I” is replaced with an “O”, If we replace concentrating on ourselves “I” and concentrate on others “O” we will Love as Jesus Loves!)

2 Corinthians 12:9 A (KJV)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:10 B (KJV)
: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

And in the Old Testament, Joel instructs us to:

Joel 3:10 B (KJV)
: let the weak say, I am strong.

The point here is when we come to Father God in the name above every name and commit our weaknesses and our strengths to His Lordship, He will make the weak places strong.

Through being able to just say, Lord I am weak, but you are my strength in this area, I release my weakness for doubt or fear or worry or whatever habit may plague you, He will turn that weakness into a mighty strength and use it to show others the Power of surrendering all to Him.

May I say when we receive Jesus Christ as Savior, we are redeemed. Then it is up to us to grow in the Lord and the Power of His might. As we study the word and spend time in the presence of the Lord God Almighty, He will reveal our weaknesses and as you release them to Him, He will make you stronger in those areas than you could ever imagine.

His strength is perfect in us when we admit we are weak, but He is strong!

What is your weakest link? Turn it over to Jesus!

Father, in Jesus’ name I come. Thank you for understanding our weaknesses and you have made provision to help us and turn our weaknesses into our strengths. May we understand that we cannot stand in our own strength, but with you the battle is won. Father, help each person reading this to cast every temptation and care on you. You fight our battles, and we can walk in great faith and victory! Amen!

When I am weak, He is Strong! Love, MeMaw!
