When we're strong we can help people. When we're weak we can't even help ourselves. The fact that some on here can't seem to grasp that very biblical concept is pretty disturbing.
2 Corinthians 12:9-11New American Standard Bible (NASB)
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [SUP]
[a][/SUP]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. [SUP]
10 [/SUP]Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with [SUP]
[b][/SUP]insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Biblical teaching is we should rely on Jesus and His strength.
