Unqualified - Backstories Matter, Pt 7 - 188

Connecting The Gap: Bible, Book Studies, and Interviews

Let us know how this Episode helped you here!

When it comes to our weaknesses, we tend to oscillate between two extremes. We wallow in our weaknesses, or we pretend they don’t exist. The problem with having a pity party about our weaknesses is that we authorize ourselves to contradict the calling that God has placed on our lives and we in essence deputize ourselves to be our own disqualifier.

When we wallow in our weaknesses, we give them power over us. We allow them to dictate our worth and potential, instead of recognizing them as areas for growth and improvement. This can lead to a defeatist attitude, limiting our ability to fulfill our purpose or calling.

On the other hand, when we try to ignore or downplay our weaknesses, we are not being honest with ourselves. We are not addressing the areas where we need to improve, which can hinder our personal and spiritual growth. Pretending our weaknesses don't exist can also prevent us from getting the help from God that we need, further isolating us from potential growth opportunities.

In the end, both extremes prevent us from aligning ourselves with God's plan for our lives. Instead of embracing our weaknesses as opportunities for growth and relying on God's strength to overcome them, we either succumb to self-pity or deny their existence altogether.
Backstories can shed a lot of light on how things may seem to be, but God can make it different. This week we look at some stories in the Bible where certain individual's backstories would predict that they would never be useful to God. But God changed the narrative.
