Bible in a Year:
You did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
King Hezekiah addressed this weakness by driving a tunnel through 1,750 feet of solid rock from the spring into the city where it flowed into the Lower Pool (see 2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:24). But in all of this, Hezekiah did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago (Isaiah 22:11). Planned what?
God Himself planned the city of Jerusalem in such a way that its water supply was unprotected. The spring outside the wall was a constant reminder that the inhabitants of the city must depend solely on Him for their salvation.
Can it be that our deficiencies exist for our good? Indeed, the apostle Paul said that he would boast in his limitations, because it was through weakness that the beauty and power of Jesus was seen in him (2 Corinthians 12:910). Can we then regard each limitation as a gift that reveals God as our strength?
What are your deficiencies? How are they helping you gain trust in God?
God, Im weak. I pray that others would see that You are my strength.
