'When I am weak... then I am Strong'
2 Corinthians 12:10 "Therefore I take pleasures in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
We can each relate to this verse in our own way. Whether you are going through very hard times in your lives, or are nervous about something which is going to come to pass, or you are involved in things that takes you out of your comfort zone; take encouragement from the fact that 'when you are weak, then you are strong.' When you are weak in yourselves, it is then that you are strong in Christ.
James 1:2
2 "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials."
James tells us to take joy in trials. We do not take joy in trials because these experiences are pleasant. Certainly they are not. James 1:3 tells us a reason to take joy is because it produces patience. Another reason that we should take joy in trials is because it is during these times, when we are out of our comfort zones and all our own resources have been exhausted that we must rely upon God. When we rely upon God amazing things can happen. Matthew 19:26 reminds us: “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
We are much stronger when we rely fully upon God, rather than when we put importance in our own abilities. So next time you are experiencing a tough or challenging time, no matter how big or small, remember that when you are weakest in yourself, it is then that you are strongest in Christ - and he will always pull through for you.
