Strength in Weakness
Strength in Weakness
The church in Philadelphia was acknowledged for its "little strength," yet Jesus opened a door of opportunity for them. This illustrates that our perceived weaknesses do not limit God's ability to use us. When we feel powerless or inadequate, we must remember that God is in control and can open doors for us to share the Gospel and make a difference. Our weaknesses can become the very platform through which God's strength is displayed, reminding us that His power is made perfect in our weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV): "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Reflection: What is one area of weakness in your life where you feel God might be calling you to step out in faith? How can you trust Him to work through your weakness?
