My Weakness is My Strength

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12: [9] 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.

Observation: It seems the times I come to God is when I’m so overwhelmed and I don’t know what to do. When everything is be going fine I don’t call on God or thank Him for the ways things are going, but just rest secure that they are. When I feel strong, confident, I think I’m doing things on my own, but it is only when I can’t handle situations that I depend on God to get me through.

Application: I need to realize I’m always weak and that apart from God I can’t do anything and that I need Him always. There is nothing good in me and I need to depend on the love of God to get me through each day and ask Him for strength to do His will in my life. God has gotten me this far and I’ll only go as far as He will let me.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for watching over me and I depend on you for each day of my life. May I always realize my weakness and that I can’t do it without you. I’m here to serve and nothing more. Open my eyes that I may serve you and others and that you will take this anger from me and give me a calming spirit.
