weak to strong

I have a habit

perhaps many of you share

I like to think I'm in control

I try to live and breathe and act

in my own power

for awhile, I move along

getting through the days, weeks, months

I bet that doesn't work for you

any better than it does for me

does it?

and when I finally take the time 

to slow, still, surrender

I hear what I already know

your rest will come in obedience

allowing the stream of My Spirit

to move you

abandon any thoughts

of going your own way

or using your own strength

don't try to work it

or figure it out

listen, bend in

I will fill your sails

and My wind will carry you

Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become. 1 Corinthians 12:10 The Message
