Middle Minutes Adoration

Nate and I have noticed that when the tired we feel isn’t from working late or tending to children, it’s often from this: subconscious weakness-avoidance. Each of us has our own brand of weakness we despise. Each of us works unconsciously hard to avoid our brand of weakness … to avoid feeling the exposure of that weakness. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It takes work to keep on being strong.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There is history, story, the ache of feeling distant from God while working tirelessly for security and strength.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Throughout scripture we see men and women who found God at their lowest, weakest, basest moments. It seems that a missing piece of 21st century Christian discipleship might be bridging the gap between what God says about weakness and limitations — how He moves in humans — and the hustling, strength-finding, Christian-world.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Can you relate? How do you see this in your life?
