Competence Is Not In Ourselves

22 Nov

2 Corinthians 3:5 – 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

I wrote on this a little bit a couple of weeks ago, but it’s so important.  We can do nothing well without God.  Anything good comes from the only One who is Good and that is God alone.

Luke 18:19 – 19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

If we can know that only God is good and we are not competent in doing things without Him, why do we try to do it on our own?

We need to continue to become lesser and allow the Lord to become greater.  The only way to know what He wants in our lives is to read and meditate on the Word.
