2 Corinthians 12:9(KJV)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
Our anchored Scripture serves as a source of comfort and encouragement for Christians facing difficulties or hardships. It reminds us that even in our weaknesses, God’s grace is enough, and His power is magnified. The Power of God is accessible to us through the Word, empowering us to overcome afflictions. Despite his own weakness, Paul was able to triumph as an overcomer through God’s miraculous strength. According to the Word, God’s Grace is more than enough, and His Strength is perfected in us. Ephesians 3:16 says, “I pray that out of the riches of His glory, He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,” God’s power is available to us because of his Holy Spirit in us. While the Holy Spirit is far more than just God’s power, the Spirit does live in us to bring us God’s power! When we feel weakness, wherever we may be, we will find God’s Grace is there, more than sufficient to meet our every need. In our weakness, we receive the Strength of God! Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
In life, we inevitably face challenging seasons that can feel like a storm. However, it’s essential to recognize that the power of Almighty God transcends any struggle we may encounter. Our weakness and struggle can serve as a doorway for the power of Christ to enter our lives and provide us with the strength we need. The power of the Holy Spirit has the ability to calm storms, perform miracles such as raising the dead, and even enable ordinary individuals to defy physics and walk on water. When we face a seemingly impossible situation that we don’t feel strong or capable enough to handle, it’s important not to give up or accept defeat because the Promises of God are unfailing. He will transform these challenges into opportunities that will empower us. When our human strength ends, God has promised that His miraculous power will bring us through! It will enable us to be overcomers despite our weaknesses! We’re not equipped to handle anything on our own. Despite our fragility and weakness, we can persevere through adversity with a strong and unwavering attitude. However, true and lasting peace in times of hardship can only be found through a steadfast faith in Christ. We can embrace our weaknesses with confidence, knowing that the Lord’s grace is more than enough for us. We can even take pride in our weaknesses because it is through them that Christ’s power is revealed and made perfect. For when we are weak, then we are strong.
Beloved, if you want to prevail with God and fulfill destiny, you must surrender your strength. Today, no matter what you may be facing, His grace is sufficient for you. His strength is made perfect in you. So, if you are facing a crisis today, or you’re sick and medicine has failed you, or your finances are out of control, or your family is falling apart, or bad habits have you hopelessly bound. If you’ve done absolutely all you know to do and still haven’t gotten results, rejoice! Stop grieving over your weaknesses and start receiving God’s Grace, Strength, and Power. For when human strength ends, the power of God excels! Only believe because He has given you everything you need to overcome in this life. Start getting strength from deep within you, where the Holy Spirit dwells. Now is the time to break free and rise to new levels because He has victory and blessing prepared for you! God will always give you the grace and strength you need to press on toward eventual victory. Always glorify God in both good and challenging times. For the sake of Christ, then, be content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. Live by faith in God’s grace and be satisfied with all that God is for you in Jesus. Remember, God doesn’t leave you with tales of doom, for He has promised you’d have peace in Him and Him alone.
O LORD, I connect to your Divine Strength in times of trials and tribulation in Jesus’ Name.
