The Foolishly Weak Strength of God

October 24, 2021 | David Speakman

Series: Joshua

Scripture: Joshua 6:1-11, 15-16, 20-21, 24-25

“How strange it is that a widow with only a handful of meal should be commanded to offer hospitality! It is once again the impossible that is set before us.  It would have been a dull commonplace to have fed the prophet from the overflowing larder of the rich man’s palace.  But to work from an almost empty cupboard – that is the surprising way of the LORD!  He delights to hang great weights on apparently slender wires, to have great events turn on seeming trifles, and to make poverty the minister of the unsearchable riches of Christ.” 

J.H. Jowett

“The feel of faith is not strength, but dependent weakness.” 

Rev. Joe Novenson

“In the Christian life, weakness is the way. The way of weakness has two aspects. One is that the watching world sees you as weak in the sense of being limited and inadequate. The second aspect is that you yourself are very conscious of being limited and inadequate.” 

J.I. Packer

“Nothing makes us more merciful and patient with the faults of others than seeing our own.” 

Francois Fenelon
