Boast in Weakness

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV)

The world celebrates strength and success, not so much weakness. We too, if we are honest, typically do not see any form of weakness as something to boast about. However, when it comes to God it is in our weakness is where He shows His strength most of all.

If we will let Him.

This is not to say that we should wallow in our weaknesses and not try to improve, no. We must use these times to lean more heavily upon God and show others that through Him we are made strong. When our strength cannot be found, we can find all we need through God, His grace is sufficient for us.

Reflect on: How you rely on and gain strength from God in the weaker areas of your life and boast about how He prevailed.
