Does anyone else notice how God is most glorified through our weaknesses? I know the Apostle Paul realized this when he says, while dealing with his thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12:10, "Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties for Christ's sake, for when I am weak, you are strong." How many college students find true joy in their helplessness or total reliance on God, knowing that God will be glorified? It appears to me that society would have students view this as a weakness and tell them to do everything in their power to overcome it, whereas the biblical response is praise to our Father.
I recently read a great blog article by J.D. Greear where he mentions that while he was on vacation he realized his vast inability to share the Gospel with all the unreached people groups across the world. He then talks about how through this inability, God brings about a plethora of opportunities to participate in mission work through mission trips, prayer, contributions, producing disciples, etc. While we may feel burdened or even overwhelmed by the number of lost people in the world, we can find encouragement in knowing that nothing is bigger than our God! As the summer is almost halfway over, please remember foreign missionaries and college ministries who are embarking on summer mission trips in your prayers.
