Thought # 7 – Your four strengths Posted: 15 Jun 2014 08:05 PM PDT Part of the “40 Thoughts of Jesus” series - know more about it. If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Mark 3.24,25 If all of ourselves, all our strength, is often not enough to overcome our challenges, what hope is left if we are divided within ourselves? Jesus revealed here His thoughts about the power of unity. This power applies to everyone, from nations of millions to each single individual. A country that is divided into groups that fight each other will surely be destroyed. If a family is divided, and its members begin to fight each other, it will be destroyed. This is easy to understand. But there’s a kind of division that isn’t talked about very much: being divided within oneself. Every person is one whole, but can be divided within himself. And it is way more common to find people divided within themselves than fully at one in body, soul and spirit and mind. Your success depends on your ability to unite all your strengths in pursuit of your goal. Which strengths? Physical (body), emotional (soul), spiritual (faith) and mental (intelligence). Want to win? Gather and align these four strengths within you. Then, nothing and no one will be able to stop you. Application: See where you might be dividing your strengths and work to unite them. Which of your four strengths has been your weakest or underused? How can you strengthen it or use it more? In your relationships, do you usually seek to unite or cause division? Are you a conciliator or a bully? Are you a team player or more individualistic? Leave your comments.
