Just to apologize, the title should've been - "O, how the 'mighty' have fallen, falls and still will fall." The mindset I have about myself can many times distort reality. This mighty one, who can do so much and accomplish even more. But these days I am realizing my thought pattern is very frayed.
So I've heard that we can be mighty when Jesus works through us (if we allow Him to work through us). And it makes sense, it really does. Maybe you're even getting an audible deja vu now.
I think my question is: How deep do/must we allow Jesus to be the Mighty?
I heard someone say once that if you had an ocean of grace with one drop of law in it, then it is not pure grace anymore but mixed. So if I allow Jesus to be the Mighty One He is through me, how deep do I allow Him to be the Mighty...? Does His Mightiness stop at a certain depth, and then mighty me takes over from there? But then I'm letting go for Him to be Mighty to where it suits me, and for anything deeper I am my own mighty. Then I am not allowing Him to be fully Mighty through me but He is Mighty in certain parts and me for the rest - sounds pretty mixed to me.
An unsurity comes when we are not in control - give over more. Trust Him to catch the porcelain vase before it falls on the floor. He has a further reach than you and the timing of His dive will be flawless. Even though you think you are standing closer with a better view of the situation - trust - He has a broader view.
And when it shatters on the ground? Each will have a different answer and questions arising. Look to Him.
I want to allow Him to be mighty to more of a deeper level, to take myself out of the mix(ture)...
