Transformed Strength

Transformed Strength

2 Corinthians 8:1-12 (MSG)

Have you ever started something to only leave it unfinished? It seems like so much has been started and stopped, started and stopped. It’s no different in our walks with God. So many start off like they are shot out of a gun and then, they get weary, get sidetracked, get complacent. The Bible is full of individuals like Samson who started off so well and then ended up destroyed until God transformed his strength. This week as we stare at the 4th of July, we look back at men and women who dedicated their lives to a cause greater than themselves. George Washington himself recognized this saying, “Make sure you are doing what God wants you to do–then do it with all your strength.” If we are not, we need to transformed strength.
