What is your weakness?

A couple of days ago I started a series of posts about lessons we can learn from Superman's life. Today I am continuing the discussion by talking about weakness.

We all know that Superman’s major weakness is Kryptonite but I have realized that this is not his only weakness. Superman has a special place that he goes to that helps train him in becoming the man that he is destined to be. He Calls this place his “Fortress of Solitude.” There he gets instruction about life and about who he is from his father on Krypton, Jorel. If Superman doesn’t ever visit the “Fortress of Solitude” he misses out on the guidance and instruction of his father and this makes him vulnerable to many of life’s problems. Likewise, we Christians also have a so called, “Fortress of Solitude.” We have a special place that we can go to gain knowledge and instruction from our Father as well. And we are here today!

I have found that when our church attendance becomes sporadic, our lives become unstable in many areas. Life’s problems seem to become harder and we don’t really know how to battle the enemy when we are attacked. This makes us weak. I look at my own personal life and I must tell you that the enemy attacks me and my loved ones each and every day. If we want to help ourselves and those we love, we must stay consistent in visiting our “Fortress of Solitude,” the church.

At church we receive guidance for all of the problems that life throws at us. Our Father, God, gives us the instruction we need in becoming the man or woman that we are destined to be.

Like Superman, our Father has a plan for each and every one of us. We each have a destiny to fulfill. God wants to give us so much more than we realize. He wants to bless us and use us to be heroes for Him.

Many in the world are searching for significance, for purpose, and as we live uncommon, different, in undeniable peace and purpose, people will take notice and we will have the opportunity to tell them about Jesus in our lives.

When we gave our lives to Jesus, we were given a mission. This is where many of us miss what it truly means to be a Christian. We become servants and we are to serve Him. Even Jesus himself said, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28

Everything we have in this life is from Him. Our clothes, talents, health, money, homes, family, and even the very air we breathe. But often times we find ourselves serving ourselves and all the things of the world instead of who we should really be serving.

God has truly blessed us and I think it would be safe to say that when we forget God and drift away from spending time with Him, we become weak in this sinful world. We need to realize where we draw our strength from.
