favor

It is not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves.

Our only power & success come from God.

2 Corinthians 3:5



This is Paul talking in his second letter to the followers of Jesus in Corinth.


It is so easy after a little while to start to believe that we have something to do with whatever we accomplish in ministry.


But it ain't so - we ain't "all that & a bag of chips", as they used to say.


Whatever happens, whatever power we operate in, all comes from God, not from our puny & precious little selves.


What do we do when we realize both are gone? 


What do we do when the favor is no more?
