Strength and Weakness
But he replied, “My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So if Christ keeps giving me his power, I will gladly brag about how weak I am.
2 Corinthians 12:9
The Lord gives strength to those who are weary.Even young people get tired, then stumble and fall. But those who trust the Lord will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired.
Isaiah 40:29-31
Christ gives me the strength to face anything.
Philippians 4:13
Many times I’ve wondered, how am I going to go through this problem at work? When am I going to resolve these marriage issues? How am I suppose to be a good dad and husband? How can I help when I need help myself? These are my moments of weakness. My self-doubt. My pity-party. There were times that I felt I couldn’t do anything, at all!
But the bible teaches one important lesson: Go with Christ! When I go through trouble, with Jesus, I’m safe! I’m able! I will reach my goal. I will have confidence. That is His promise. That’s what I’m holding on to!
Jesus is the source of my strength. I shall depend on Him in all the things I do, because I can’t do it all by myself!
