MY (GOD) STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS

WHEN I AM WEAK...HE IS STRONG! ARE YOU WEAK?

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. 2 Cor 12:9 KJV

When was the last time you recieved a compliment for being weak. The Greek word for weak in this verse is astheneia (ä-sthe'-na-ä) with means want of (lack of) strength, weakness, infirmity of the body. Weak means weakness, frailty, feebleness of health or sickness of the soul. Weak means lack of strength and capacity requisite, LACK OF understanding a thing and/or to do things great and glorious. Weakness means inability to restrain corrupt desires! Weak or weakness to bear (stand firm) in the midst of trials and troubles!

Paul goes on to say that He takes pleasure in his weaknesses!! WOW WHAT A CONCEPT! The word pleasure here means to desire, to think good, to be well pleased in our trials. According to 2 Cor 12:9; In Paul's weaknesses Christs power was made more apparent to others. This is not a popular concept. We want to do things in our strength to feel self sufficient and not of need of anything.

We try to hide our weaknesses. We don't like to come to an end of our own strength. God is allowing in our lives that which brings Him Glory. Are you ready to LET GO AND LET GOD! Are you ready to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Christ. Matt 16:24
