Amazingly, a glove can do all sorts of things. Pick up a book, wave goodbye, scratch my head, pat someone on the back, or slap somebody in the face. So this glove, though, can do nothing. If I take my hand out of it, however, all it does is lie there. I can yell at it, get mad at it, try to teach it lessons, but to no avail. It can do nothing on its own without my hand inside. The glove is nothing more than an ordinary piece of cloth or leather. Like this glove, people can do a little of real consequence on their own. In the flesh, we are weak, but with Christ we are strong. When my hand is inside the glove, the glove can do anything my hand wants it to do. In Philippians 4:13 Paul teaches us that I am like a glove. On my own I can do nothing, but with Christ in me, I can do whatever Christ wants me to do. He is the one who gives me the strength and the ability to do it. We can be sure that if we obey Christ and follow Him, He will be with us and give us the strength to do His will. Do that today. God bless you, Captain Ken Chapman.
