Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power
works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that
the power of Christ can work through me. 2
Corinthians 12:9
I used to
say something very cruel to people who were suffering. I would tell them, “God
must think that you are strong enough to face this situation.” I have since
apologized for ever saying that. Suffering doesn’t reveal our strength.
Suffering reveals our weakness.
Paul’s words
show us that weakness is not necessarily a negative. Weakness allows us to more
fully depend on God’s strength. I don’t feel a need for Christ’s power as
strongly when things are going well. But, when things are beyond my control and
my ability, I sure need Christ’s power then.
When I am
weak, even when I sin, I receive God’s grace and power in abundant ways. “My
power works BEST in weakness,” God tells Paul. How doesn’t God’s power work
best in your life? What weakness are you facing that you need God’s grace and
power today? All you need to do is ask and He will provide.
