I remember in highschool being one of the "runts" in the weight room. I worked out every day during the offseason with a couple of my friends, all of whom were quite a bit stronger than me no matter what I did. I had teh work ethic, I had the willpower I just lacked the muscle and the strength so I worked hard to get it. After school during football season my sophomore year the weight room was usually pretty empty. I would go in there and work out alone at times or with a coach in there spotting me. I would start out with lower body and conditioning and work my way to upper body. Sets of curls, reverse curls, leg press, leg extensions, shoulder press and a few others. I would finish out my workout about the time the football team was coming in. There were a few guys that would come in to work out afer football practice as I was finishing up. THere were two seniors that I knew pretty well that would come over and help me finish out my workout, and then unknowingly insult me. Where I finished with my benchpress workout, at times where I maxxed out would be what they used to warm up. THey would take that weight and tell me, "Later Flash! We'll clean up." and then they would proceed to throw up my max weight about 12-15 times just to warm up before their workout. My strength was not even close to their weakness, on their worst days they would be stronger than my best.
1 Corinthians 1:25 FOr the foolishness of GOd is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
Paul says it best, God's weakest(He has no weakness) attribute would be 1 million times stronger than our strongest attribute. His most foolish attribute would be 1 million times smarter than our smartest.
THere is no comparison to God, therefore there is no need to be proud of anything. God can accomplish more with a single whisp of his hand than we can in a lifetime of hard work. THis is why we need to make sure we are in GOd's will and allowing Him to work through us, rather than tackling things based on man's abilities and man's wisdom.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
