Good Morning Gracious One!

2 Corinthians 12:9 ~ “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, l that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Have you ever heard or said this phrase, “Don’t worry, God won’t give you more than you can handle.” I know it seems well, but it’s not true! Weak and strong are opposites, that don’t attract! But by definition, when you are weak, you are not strong and at any given time, you can feel weak in a hundred of different ways. Over and over again we can see God’s children have being given way more than they can physically, emotionally and spiritually handle on their own. But God, all of this was designed to show your weakness and His Sovereignty and Strength!

And in the midst of all this muck, the all-surpassing power of God is made perfect, in your weakness. It’s in the places that you are most feeble, is the best platform for the Lord to show His perfect strength! God can be seen clearly when you stop your boasting, when you stop trying to prove to the world you can muscle up and push your way through.

When there is no way, God shows up and blows your mind! When you get tired of hiding, God shows up and shows you how perfect He is and how much He can do! I know it’s easy to hid behind stuff, but it’s even easier to hid in God! It’s in the bumps and lumps that we want to hid, but it’s those parts that show your beauty and His perfection! This is when God comes and shows how perfect He is and how much He can do.

God’s Grace is Sufficient for you, no matter what! Thank God for your weakness, that is when His strength in you is made perfect! The weaker you are the more His power shows evident in your life. If you need to boast, boast gladly in your my weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and calamities, that the power of  Jesus Christ may rest upon you. Live by faith in God’s grace, knowing that He is for you. Don’t run away from things that reveal and magnifies all that God is  in you. And remember, when you are weak He is strong! God’s design for suffering is that it should magnify Christ’s worth and power. This is grace, because the greatest joy of Christians is to experience Christ magnified in our lives. Today, let’s choose to embrace what God can do when you are at your worst. Let’s trust God will be strong in you.

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, my heart is growing with gratitude and I extol Your Majesty for, as my Father, You have manifested abundant love and mercy towards me. You have blessed me Your Holy Spirit so that I may live with Your Power on the inside of me as travel life’s journey. Father You are a Patient and Loving Shepherd, who guards my heart from discouragement in tough times and guards it from boasting and in good times. Father l, I know that without you I am nothing and I have nothing that is permanent. Father, Thank You for giving me a permanent, steadfast hope of Heaven with You, because of Your Grace and Mercy, that You given to me. Father, I will humbly boast in my infirmities for Your Glory, that the Power of Jesus Christ may rest upon me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Blessings…
