"And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of God may rest upon me."
II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV
I hear this little voice in my head that is singing, "Gotta keep swimming, just keep swimming. Swimming. Swimming..." Yeah, it's Dory, the little blue fish from Finding Nemo. A cute little ditty that sometimes I sing to myself when I just want to quit, but what a messed up theology this is! Since when has it become acceptable to take advice from a fictional scatter-brained sea creature anyway?
The thing is, I have learned that to just keep moving forward is not enough.
Maybe instead, my song should be, "Gotta keep praying. Just keep trusting. Praying. Trusting. Reading. Praying."
This life is too difficult for me to control and too overwhelming for me to just push my way through. I am so thankful for the hope of the gospel which grants me salvation from my sins, the power of the Holy Spirit to keep me and comfort me, and the grace of God which He has proclaimed Himself to be "sufficient."
