Entry #2 - Who is Sufficient?

It's one full week since the previous entry. Distractions and undiscipline have abounded since then during the Christmas build-up and I am feeling very weak. In 2 Corinthians 2:15-16 Paul describes the weightiness of Gospel service, of being the aroma of Christ, which is the smell of life to those who are being saved, but the smell of death to those who are perishing. He asks rhetorically, "Who is sufficient for these things?"

The incredible nature of the spiritual warfares and realities going on around us are simply beyond us. We are weak, we are finite, we are sinners. Very easily I got caught up in other things and have realized my own insufficiency to write a blog called "the reality of Christ" by my own diminished sense of said reality.

But this is how God calls us to walk, sufficient not in ourselves but in Him.
