An All-Adequate God
All of us go through experiences in life when we feel
inadequate. At such times, where can we look up to except our all-adequate God
who can fill us with his limitless grace?
In the Bible, we find even David felt inadequate, although the
anointed king. In 2 Sam 2:38,39, he cries out to his servants in desperation.
Then the king said to his men, “Do you not realize
that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? And
today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are
too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer
according to his evil deeds!”
Why did David feel himself weak? When Joab confronted David for
making peace with Abner, Bible does not record of David speaking back anything.
And he seemed powerless to control what followed. Abner was killed by Joab
without David’s knowledge.
Whenever you feel inadequate, place your complete trust in
God, rather than brooding over your own capabilities. When you place confidence
in God, you will enjoy greater victories that what could have been achieved
through self-confidence.
David knew this secret. He completely trusted in God for
everything. His psalms reflect his love and thirst for God. And God helped him
overcome all his inadequacies and established his kingdom in Israel.
