God Cares and Prepares Leaders: Lions, Goliath and Bears, Oh My!
When God calls and anoints leaders, he doesn't leave them to their own skills and devices. God prepares us to fight giants by fighting the giants we've set up ourselves. God prepares us to ride out storms by putting us in the boat beside him. And the paradox is that every storm - and every encounter with a giant - makes us stronger by making us weaker.

Hope in Weakness (Romans 8:26-27)
We are weak -- we are weak because of our sin, but we are also weak simply because we are limited, dependent, finite creatures. This weakness reveals itself in our prayers, as well. Even if we pray without distraction, we "do not know what to pray for as we ought." But Paul encourages us that we have the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us in our prayers. And we can have confidence that the Holy Spirit's intercession is perfect because he has perfect knowledge.

We may find ourselves in a head-on collision in marriage, finances, morals, business, or some other arena of life. Jesus calls us to learn humbly from our failures, and to allow him to use our greatest weaknesses to show himself strong in our lives.

Nehemiah "Building Lives" Part 3
We need to be specific in asking and meeting vows to God. Much of what we do is for market reasons over what God has told us.The question isn't will this relation work. But will this relationship enjoy all the blessings God has for us. Christianity is not for the weak. But is easier than serving in the world.
