He explains that God intentionally chooses the weak and foolish to demonstrate His power, as seen in 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, and that our imperfections do not disqualify us from being used by Him. Wilkerson encourages believers to embrace their vulnerabilities, as God delights in working through those who recognize their need for Him, just as He did with figures like Abraham. The sermon reassures us that despite our struggles and shortcomings, we are vessels of God's glory and purpose.
Knowing Our Weakness and God's Power
By A.W. Tozer0EXO 4:10PSA 119:130ISA 40:29JHN 11:35ROM 8:261CO 1:272CO 12:9PHP 4:132TI 1:7JAS 4:10A.W. Tozer emphasizes the contrast between Moses' lack of eloquence and God's power, illustrating that God often chooses the weak and humble to accomplish His purposes. Despite Moses' self-doubt and speech impediment, it was he, not his eloquent brother Aaron, who led Israel and authored significant biblical texts. Tozer points out that true depth of emotion often results in simplicity of expression, as seen in the poignant brevity of 'Jesus wept.' This sermon encourages believers to recognize their weaknesses as opportunities for God's strength to shine through.
