A reminder for
today
So to keep me from
becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to
torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the
Lord to take it away. 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 12:7-9)
It is amazing how God works. How God steers us and how He
pulls us back to Him. Sometimes we need to fall to become humble again. Sometimes
we need to fail so that we can get a better perspective and sometimes we lose
so that we can stand up again, stronger and better prepared. God makes it clear
here that His grace is enough and that His power works best in weakness. I can
not begin to tell you about all my weaknesses and how many times I have fallen.
But one thing I can rejoice about is that every time I stand up again I get
closer to God and I am stronger. Every time the Lord picks me up from the mud
it gets harder for the enemy to temp me. I know that when I am weak I am
stronger.
That's why I take
pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and
troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (verse
10)
So today I want you to be glad about your weaknesses for
when you are weak you are strong. So stand up with me again and let us face the
insults, hardships, persecutions and troubles that awaits us. Let us follow
His voice and dwell in His grace. Let the Lord light a flame in your soul for
every eye to see. Let the fire of His grace burn through you and let your
passion for Him resonate all over the earth.
Lord, make us strong so that we can stand up again and face
the challenges that awaits us. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
