Weakness
..for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
.. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Cor. 12:9-10
"This is God's way. We advance by going backward, we become strong by becoming weak, we become wise by being fools"
~Whitfield~
God's ways are so polar opposite of the ways of the world. We are told that strength is the mark of a successful man and woman in today's society. There are so very many times that I fail by today's standards.
Life weighs me down with financial burdens, health worries, career struggles, and finding new direction after a life-altering year.
You have your own worries, and even if you're hiding them behind a wall of perceived strength... They're there!
I take such comfort in the fact that I can come before my Heavenly Father and pour it all out to Him. I can be frail and even a weak man... I can fail in front of Him. I can tell Him I'm too weak to carry it all....to achieve....even to go on! It doesn't matter, when we come to Him, and lay all at His feet, He exchanges our weaknesses with His strength. Total reliance on His perfect strength - that's true success in Heavens eyes!
His strength made perfect in my weakness!
May you seek His face before you face any other today!
