Strong When I Am Weak

2 Corinthians 12:10

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

When you are hurt, it is hard to be in a good mood. When you are being mocked, it is hard to stay level headed. When we pay bills and see our bank account dwindle, it is hard to be thankful. When all this is happening how do you stand in faith? It’s easy, keep your eyes on Jesus. Without him we are weak, but with him we can move mountains. When your body hurts remember that some would love to have that slight pain. When you are mocked, it just means the enemy wants you to stop. When you have bills to pay, be thankful because many don’t have the money to pay what they owe. We have forgotten that in all our trials and struggles we are doing it to spread the word of God. We think we have it bad at times for our problems but we forget that all but one disciple was murdered proclaiming the news that Christ was the Messiah. So even when you are burdened down and feel weak remember, we do this for Christ and through him we are strong.
