1 Corinthians 2
1When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. 4My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

As a Youth Minister I feel torn down alot. You have to please so many people all the time. I feel like I have about 30 different bosses most of the time. I get down on myself and wonder if I really ever make a difference in my student lives. I read this passage again this morning and it was if God spoke out loud. It sent chills up my spine. "That your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." I love this passage because it strengthens my soul. My feelings of not being good enough and feeling down is not what my life should be about. I proclaim Christ and that is enough. I want to rest in that each day it is for His glory and not mine. I want to share Christ with people and let God be my rest. Pray that I follow this!
Have a great day!
