3 " Strength in Weakness For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:10 Look carefully at these words written by the apostle Paul. Don’t they seem like a contradiction? After all, how can you be strong if you are weak? But it isn’t a contradiction—not in God’s eyes. Paul was stating a very important truth: When we attempt to do God’s work in our own strength instead of God’s strength, we will fail. Only when we acknowledge our weakness and look to the Holy Spirit for the wisdom and strength we need will God bless our efforts. Perhaps you teach a class of young people in your church... or someone has come to you with a problem...or you are thinking of volunteering for a summer mission project...or your children are beginning to ask questions about God. How will you do what needs to be done? Yes, you’ll study and work diligently; trusting God for the outcome doesn’t mean we sit back and do nothing. But only God can work in the hearts of those you are seeking to help. Confess your weakness to Him and trust Him to work through you—today and always. "

5 " AUGUST 16 The Cure for Loneliness The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.” GENESIS 2:18 “My husband died two years ago,” her letter said, “and I’m so lonely I don’t care if I die. It’s like a searing pain that just won’t go away.” Her letter reflects something we all know: loneliness is one of the most painful experiences many of us will ever face. The Bible says we weren’t meant to be alone. Even in the Garden of Eden—long before sin entered the world—God knew that Adam needed someone with whom he could share his life, and so He created Eve. When loneliness afflicts you, remember two truths. First, we are never alone when we know Christ. You can’t see Him— but He is more real than the chair you are sitting in, and He is with you. Take comfort in His promise: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Second, learn to reach out to others. All around you are people who are lonely. Ask God to help you be a friend to someone who is going through hard times. Whom will you reach out to today? "

7 " We know we ought to know more about the Bible—but perhaps you’re like many Christians: It’s so overwhelming you’ve never really gotten into it. The first step is to realize what it is: God’s “love letter” to you. From one end to the other it tells of God’s love for us—a love so great that He sent His Son into the world to redeem us. You wouldn’t ignore a letter from someone who loved you; don’t ignore God’s love letter either. "

9 " If we are to be pure and holy, we must first commit ourselves—mind, body, and spirit—completely to Christ. We can’t hold back any area of our life from Him. "

13 " People today don’t like the word narrow, but Jesus clearly said there are two roads to the future for all of us: the way to Hell and destruction is broad, but the way to Heaven is narrow. Which road are you on? Is a course correction necessary? "

15 " Don’t ever take God’s judgment lightly—and don’t ever take sin lightly. God doesn’t take them lightly—and the proof is that they cost His dear Son His life. "
