YOU ARE THE U and T of SHOUT
It's a good thing that I don't plan what I'm going to write in advance so that God can have His way with me. I'm writing with a heavy heart after learning that my dear friend, John Caldwell, Esq., passed away on Friday around 2 p.m. The news weakened me and, literally, sent me crashing to the ground. So I asked myself, "How can I write about the U of SHOUT, Using God's Power, when I feel so weak?"
"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness. ”
Therefore I will boast all the more
power is made perfect in weakness. ”
Therefore I will boast all the more
gladly about my weaknesses,
so that Christ’s power may rest on me."
so that Christ’s power may rest on me."
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)
So today, my friend, I'm giving you, through my weakness and tears, the U of SHOUT and the three keys to Using His Power:
1. Surrendering all agendas;
2. Allowing your weaknesses to Shine through, for when you are weakest, His power is perfect;
And, finally, because a SHOUTN woman is clay in God's hand, we don't mind change.
We can change the S to Surrender when we're too weak to Stand and Shine.
Then when we acknowledge that we just don't know what the next day or call will bring, we can change the T to:
3. Trusting Him every step of the way!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6
There you have it, my friend. Our SHOUT is complete a day early. Regardless of the news you receive or the circumstances you find yourself in, you must SHOUT! My SHOUT is now filled with tears and grief but I know it's alright. I love you, John. I TRUST GOD!
