The
Cross does not eliminate weakness, it brings strength out of weakness.
With less of me there is more of the Lord. So these wilderness
experiences are designed to teach us something about weakness. When you
are weak, when you have no strength, then Christ is revealed. You become
conscious of a supernatural strength rising up
from within. If you’re fasting you’re still hungry. The hunger doesn’t
magically go away. If you’ve got a thorn in the flesh God doesn’t wave
His magic wand and just take it away. What does He say? “I’ll not take
the thorn away, but I will give you more grace, and you will learn by
experience that My grace is sufficient.”
See,
you don’t learn the sufficiency of Grace until you have experienced the
insufficiency of Self. The sooner you give up the
better. I go back to my original statement: we spend too much time
crying and praying and asking God to take us out of whatever we’re in,
and the thing we’re trying to get out of is the very thing God intends
to use to teach you something of Himself. You say, “That’s a hard way to
learn!” Well, who said it would be easy?
