Have you ever thought of yourself as a weak person? Too weak to hold on to your life? Too weak to trust God and his Word? Maybe even too weak to get out of bed each morning?
There was a time in my life that I felt I was too weak. Until one day when after I had said that, my sister gave me this scripture from the life of the Apostle Paul. It says:
But he says to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am made strong. 2 Corthianians 12:9-11.
Imagine being strong even through our weaknesses. When we rest in God, that is what we have. Strength.
Many of us have been insulted. Many of us have been through hardships. Some of us have been persecuted. Most have had difficulties. All of which can defeat us or give us the strength of Christ. The power to move ahead. The power to throw off that which satan is trying to put us through.
It doesn't come naturally though. We have to be willing to seek God and his Word on an ongoing basis. Because if we don't, the weakness we feel will attack and take over.
When we listen to God, it is he that empowers us. Our weaknesses then become our strength.
