Jacob 4: 7 " Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things. "
Ether 12:27 " And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
There are times when I wonder how with my small mustard seed of faith I am so richly blessed. It has been a while since I've posted and thats because I have been wrestling with some physical challenges that have certainly been humbling. As I was reading from the book of Jacob I came across this verse that reminds us that it is by grace that we are lifted up and blessed with power to overcome our trials. With emphasis "his great condescensions" refers to the Great Atonement and Crucifiction of Jesus Christ. During our darkest times, for me it was when I was trying to cope with the pain, I turned to the Lord knowing He was the true source of relief. As we pray and ask for the power of Christ's atonement to make up the difference for us we can receive healing and peace that is more then any earthly remedy. I have experienced this for myself, and as the scriptures point out we must exercise faith in Him and come with a humble heart. Then will He make weak things become strong.
