The Apostle Paul didn’t rest in his strength or wisdom. He wasn’t depending on human ability to provide for his current ministry or eternal destiny.
Paul believed in Christ, the risen-living Lord, and he knew that the Lord was more than able to offer provision and grant eternal life. He was secure in Christ.
Faith is the key to discipleship and our entire Christian experience. We must reach the place where we rest solely in Christ. Apart from Him we have no ability, no message to share, and no hope for the future. But in Him we have strength, wisdom, provision, security and grace.
I know whom I have believed, and I am confident that His Word is sure. He guides me here on earth, and He is preparing a place for my eternity. Hallelujah!
