Let Your Weakness Produce Your Strength

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why for Christ’s sake, I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

There are many areas in your life where you probably feel weak and beaten down. Every time you take 2 steps forward something knocks you back 3 more steps. It seems like you can’t do anything right. It is time to stop looking at your situation as a weakness and begin to let that weakness produce your strength. 

God promises us that when we are weak he is strong. Instead of consulting with family, friends, and colleagues about your problems, talk to the only one that can provide you true grace and mercy. 

Paul tells us how he is not ashamed of his weakness because he knows that God will supply all he needs to get through. He goes further and explains that he delights in the hardships and insults. Paul is resting on the strength of God to get him through. Use God’s promise as a stepping stone to continue to make it through the day. Do not let outside critics make you feel embarrassed about the troubles you are going through. Everyone in this world has troubles, they’re just not openly shared. 

During this weak moment, you will learn many valuable lessons. You will become stronger each day you allow God’s strength to guide you. The next time you feel like throwing in the towel and giving up, take a moment and ask God to provide you his strength to comfort and guide you through your journey. 

I love you but God loves you more
