Episode notes
Power Comes From Divine Appointment
- God gives authority and power to those who naturally have none to accomplish his will on earth.
- Moses stood before Pharaoh as God's appointed ambassador, empowered by divine presence rather than personal ability.
Look To God's Power, Not Your Track Record
- When you face overwhelming tasks, don't trust your past performance or social support as primary sources of strength.
- Instead, look to the authority and power God provides to those who have none, and depend on his will.
God Chooses The Weak To Display Glory
- God often chooses the weak and foolish by worldly standards to shame the strong and wise.
- This prevents human boasting and displays God's wisdom and power through humble instruments.
