DELTAoids, LAMBstrings, GODriceps, ABBAdomimals!

Over the past few weeks Jesus has been weakening me in many different ways. He is dethroning my pride, reminding me that I should proclaim to nothing but Him and Him crucified, that even with bread and water I am weak, and that no amount of sleep, work, or food will ever fully satisfy me. To be satisfied I need to become dissatisfied with the things that the world says are satisfying. I need to be completely and utterly weak, defenseless, and poor in order for Him to be Strong. I always try to be MuchoMachoMan when really I need to, as Reid/Andy mighty say, Mucho-take-it-easy and rely on His strength in my infinite weakness. No matter how strong I think I am (which, let's be honest, isn't all that much-o) there will come a day when I have no strength left, only weakness. Then what? What will I rely on? I need to start relying on the power of His holy name and the strength of His crucifixion/resurrection that daily renews me by the transforming of my mind. I need to fall before Him, as the Samaritan leper did after being healed, and thank Him for His strength and goodness because without it I am nothing!!! So forget deltoids, hamstrings, quadriceps, and abdominals! Give me DELTAoids, LAMBstrings, GODriceps, and ABBAdominals!!!!
