Do you have a task, a relationship, a challenge, a grief that you are just not up to? Here is some resonant truth from the Apostle Paul.

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

So called self-sufficiency is a recipe for a bad meal; it’s ingredients are smugness, judgment of others, and some form of dishonesty about one’s own weaknesses. Instead, why not taste and see that the Lord is good?

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Third Sunday of Easter – BCP)
