Don’t be scared of your strengths. | Episode 132

Let’s start this week off with some good news. Listen to this
Monday Mini podcast episode for some quick and practical
encouragement to kick off your week and ground you in your
calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can
start it off centering ourselves on the good of others and the
glory of God.


Last week we talked about our weaknesses. Today, we’re going to
talk about our strengths.


We’ve noticed that women (ourselves included) are hesitant to
name and stand in our strengths. We’ve been conditioned to be
scared of our God-given strength. But – God isn’t afraid of
making us strong.


"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They
will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31


You have inherent strength, if by grace through faith you walk
with God. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead
is alive and at work in and through you. We’ve confused
glorifying God for the strengths He’s given us with pride – and
nothing could be further from the truth. We’re not prideful for
giving glory to the One who gave us our strengths.


By failing to acknowledge areas where He has strengthened us,
we’re missing out on claiming some healing and hope for our own
lives AND missing out on serving others by using that strength
for good.


You don’t have to live in the narrative that you are a victim and
life is happening to you. Life is hard. Eternity is real. The
kingdom of heaven is on your side and in Jesus’ name, you are
strong. God is mighty in you – and we mean that. We’ll see you
Thursday!
