Discover His Strength In Your Weakness!
Living peaceful in today’s world as a believer in Christ is becoming increasingly difficult. The world is becoming harsher, more critical, even abusive at times toward us. We read about fellow believers in other countries and the intense hostilities they are undergoing and hope we never encounter such extremes in malicious behavior against us.
The Scripture tells us that we will undergo persecution in one way or another if we are true followers of Jesus Christ. Our Christian faith stands in opposition to the kingdoms of this world. Paul briefly shared his adventures in persecution and hardships with the Corinthian church in his second letter to them. He was readying them for the increasing hostilities he knew they would encounter. He spoke words of encouragement to them based upon what he had learned from his own experiences.
He wrote these words to them: “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So because of Christ, I am pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in catastrophes, in persecutions, and in pressures. For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 HCSB). When you learn to give GOD your weaknesses, He gives you His strength!
Perhaps you are going through some difficulties right now? Perhaps you are struggling with issues and problems and maybe even feeling discouraged by it all? Paul tells us that in these moments, Jesus Christ becomes your Strength; He becomes the Rock you can hold onto; He becomes the Anchor that holds you securely. In your weakness, in your trials and tribulations, in your struggles, in your hardships, Jesus is your Strength. Discover His strength in your weakness today!
