such is the confidence we have through Christ toward God.
not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us,
but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit.
For the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
II Cor. 3:4-6
What would it look like if every moment I operated in the knowledge of my total dependency on God? and His sufficiency?
What would it look like if I really understood, believed, and practiced the knowledge that nothing good in me comes from myself, but from the eternal Good, and his ministers of reconciliation who put it there?
What would it look like if I always operated in my role as a competent minister of the new covenant?
spirit. life.

That is the challenge, isn't it. It seems like culture is trying to make promotions and wealth to be the greatest things, but His sufficiency totally is.
