2 Cor 12:9, 10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
We like to speak of having strength to be able to face the trials, testing and adversity that come in the plan of God, but do we know what it means to glory in our weakness so that grace becomes our only sufficiency? We build walls to protect and insulate ourselves from the things that reveal our weakness because we want to show ourselves strong. We think that if we show ourselves weak that we will be taken advantage of because of vulerability. God's plan is to show his strength and make it perfect in our weakness so that his grace will be sufficient in all things that we face in this life. God loves weakness and has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty (1Cor 1:27). Weakness is not sin but is part of the clay that God molds with his own handiwork to reveal himself, the treasure in our earthen vessel (2 Cor 4:7).
