HIS Power is made Perfect!

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NIV

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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

The Apostle Paul openly admits to weakness, of which by his own strength he is incapable of overcoming.

There are Believers in Christ who, are reluctant at best, admit that a weakness in their flesh sometimes prohibits them from serving Christ to their fullest of potential.

Rather, giving excuses of busyness, lack of knowledge or understanding, all of these which were addressed by Christ as man's attempt to forego obedience and submission to servanthood.

Paul calls to each of us, to look upon our weaknesses as greater opportunities for Christ to be glorified, that we might also boast of HIS Power that overcomes every obstacle.

Father, it is by YOUR Spirit I am counseled,

in every trial and circumstance!

For without YOU I can do nothing,

neither speak nor breathe!!

By YOUR Grace, as YOU have proclaimed,

can I be victorious over my every weakness!!!

Amen!!!
