And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
II Corinthians 12:9
Question
Do you have a weakness that God could be using to display His strength?
Context
Paul prayed three times for God to remove his “thorn in the flesh.” Instead, God told him that His grace was sufficient enough and His power works best in weakness. Paul found his strength to endure his pain by trusting God.
Application
When life exposes our weakness, we often feel like failures. God never asked us to carry the load of life in our own strength. Our weaknesses are not failures but opportunities for God’s power to be revealed. Instead of hiding them, we can lean into His grace. Instead of pretending to have it all together, we can boast in our weakness because it points others to the sufficiency of Christ.
Truth For The Day
Don’t be discouraged by weakness. Let it be the canvas where God paints His strength.
Pray
Lord, I give you my weaknesses and struggles. Teach me to rest in Your grace and to rely on Your power instead of my own strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
