GOD’S INFALLIBILITY FOR MAN’S INSUFFICIENCY
JANUARY 13, 2026
TEXT: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:6–7)
In this season, the contrast between human limitation and divine perfection remains a cornerstone of faith, reminding us that our “empty cups” are the very places God intends to pour His strength.
Here is a life composed of inexhaustible sources available to meet the insufficiency of man.
From fragility to fortitude, embrace your limits as a gift. Your human limitations are not “bugs” in your design; they are features intended to keep you anchored to the Creator. We are “jars of clay” so that the surpassing power may be clearly seen as coming from God, not from ourselves.
(2 Corinthians 4:7)
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
Acknowledge your inability to self-sustain. The world pushes self-reliance, but the Bible reveals that apart from the Source, we wither. True productivity comes not from trying harder but from abiding, connected.
(John 15:5)
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing.”
Trust the Unchanging amidst the shifting. While human emotions and efforts are like “mists” that vanish, God’s character and purposes are immutable. He does not change His mind or His nature based on your performance.
(Malachi 3:6)
“I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not consumed.”
Boast in weakness to activate power. Perfection is not the requirement for God’s work; it is the platform where His strength is perfected—brought to full expression. When you are at your lowest, you are in the perfect position for a miracle. Just come as you are today.
(2 Corinthians 12:9)
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Rest in divine sufficiency. When your heart and flesh fail—which they inevitably will—God remains the unchanging portion of your life. He knows our “dust” and meets us with compassion rather than disappointment.
(Psalm 73:26)
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
SEARCHLIGHT “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
PRAYER: LORD, (Isaiah 41:15) Make me a new, sharp threshing instrument having teeth, to thresh the mountains and beat them small, and to make the hills as chaff.
