Ps. 139: 5b woven together – embroidered, a piece of art

Ps. 45:11 God is enthralled with our beauty (God is crazy about us).
God is our Designer who deliberately designed us with all our weaknesses.
We have more weaknesses than strengths.
God purposely designed us with weaknesses.
Sin - a violation of God’s commands.
Weakness – an inability that does not violate God’s commands.
E.g. of weakness – cannot speak loud, sing out of tune
God, our Designer deliberately designed us with weakness to benefit us.
A. Allow God’s Power to Work Through Us.
God, our Designer does not expect us to be perfect.
2 Cor. 12:7-9
B. Avoid the Wrong Ministries
Take on too much.
Not taking anything.
Eph. 2: 10
Does God call us to serve in our weakness? Yes but not all the time.
C. Accept our Need for Interdependence with others
