Day 8 - strength vs weakness

2 Corinthians 12:9

"But He said to me, My grace is enough for you: 

for My strength and power are made perfect and 

show themselves most effective in your weakness.  

Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my 

weaknesses and infirmities , that the strength and 

power of Christ my rest upon me!"

Weakness is not something we never really openly

talk about it.  It makes us look "not good enough".  

It reveals too much about ourselves.  Why is that 

we always have to appear "strong".  None of us are

in every area of our lives.  There are weak places

and weak moments that we all face.

Another thing on the fast that will face each of us

is our weaknesses.  Whether it be:  1.  the thing 

we are fasting from or 2. the things we deal with on

a day to day basis in our lives (our inadiquicies, our

infirmities, our addictions, our intimidations, etc...)

Again - thank God for Jesus and His Word.  Today's

scripture gives us Hope about our weakness.  God's

strength and power is most effective in our weaknesses.

Rely on that today.  In your prayer time - rely on the

strength and power of our God.  You will find that

in Him - You become all you need to be.  Your weakness

seems to diminish as the strength of the Lord becomes

greater in Your life.

Draw strength from Jesus today.
