“Just a Closer Walk with Thee” is a traditional gospel song that has been covered & performed by many artists, as either an instrumental or vocal arrangement. If you’ve been a member of the church for long enough, you know the words well, and for good reason! This is one of the most beautiful, and well known, hymns found within any traditional songbook. Although it is a widely popular song, the precise author of the work is unknown. However, songs with similar lyrics were published in the 1800’s, leading many to believe the song was widely accepted before then. Whatever the case may be, the song is amazing, and whoever penned it certainly lived the experience & learned how to depend on the Lord.

The Apostle Paul could relate. In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds his audience that he does, in fact, have weakness; however, that is where his strength is found. Admittedly this is a tough passage because we don’t want to be weak, we want to be strong! Blogger Dane Orlund touches on this as he writes: “I find [this passage] extremely deconstructive of my heart. Strength is found not by avoiding, overcoming, or denying weakness, but in it. It is a truth that is so counterintuitive. You think you've grasped it only to find a week later you're right back living out of strength, frustrated at the weaknesses in your life which seem to be keeping you from your goals. And Paul says, "You're denying yourself joy by resisting the very thing that will bring it.” He continues, “Living out of your own strength in order to make a difference with your life is like stopping up your cavities with sugar. So stop drawing attention to your strengths. Exult rather in your weaknesses. And then the pipes of your heart will be cleaned of all the self-sufficiency that has been clogging them up and real power will be able to flow. What a blow to my pride, but what a comfort too! Because it means anyone qualifies. There's no minimum standard to acquire God's power. All it takes is weakness. And everyone has that.” Chet
