Protection in our Weakness

As each day comes to a conclusion and we look back on what transpired, how we behaved, the good things we did, the things that make us cringe, and see that somehow God was present in it all, we realize that without his protection, faithfulness, forgiveness, and strength to find resilience, we would be a sorry lot indeed.  By taking time to reflect on our lives, we see what needs to be done by way of improvement but we also see how present God is, never quitting on us. even when we might want to quit on ourselves.  With his help we can pull it together as we saw in the Central Catholic vs Chelmsford football game last night.  Central was behind 31-21 with 2:44 left to go.  Pretty bleak, but in a rousing three play drive, the Raiders scored, got an onside kick, scored again along with a two point conversion, and won 35-31.  The team never gave up.  Yes, it's a football game, but a real life example of what we can do when we feel overwhelmed or even defeated by our persistent weakness.
It is when we admit our weakness that we are strong, for God's protection against our weakness is always there.
