God’s Power in Our Weakness

📖 Scripture:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

❓Reflective Question:

Where in your life do you feel weak — and how might God be revealing His strength through it?

We spend so much energy hiding our weaknesses and our flaws, but what if they’re the very places where God’s power shines the brightest? St. Paul didn’t boast about his achievements when he was speaking to the church in Corinth. As a matter of fact, he did the complete opposite — he boasted in his weaknesses as a flawed human being who has found grace in the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. because that’s where God’s strength shows up.

God has never been inhibited by our limitations. That would make Him a finite God, and that’s not what the scriptures teach us in Romans 1:20. In fact, our weakness is the perfect canvas for His grace to be made manifest in our lives. Now, when we reach the end of ourselves, we find out that God will use that as the beginning moment to show us of His sufficiency. His strength doesn’t just compensate for our lack of strength when difficulty arises — God’s power is magnified in it.

Don’t despise your moments of fragility. They are sacred spaces where God’s sovereignty meets our humanity. God not asking you to be strong enough to face every challenge that comes your way; He’s instead inviting you to trust that He is capable of taking care of you whilst you go through it.

🙏🏽 Prayer:

“Lord, I surrender my weakness to You. Teach me to see it not as a flaw but as a place where Your grace can be made known. Be my strength, my sufficiency, and my song. May we always draw closer to You through all seasons and trails in Jesus’ name.”

Amen
