The GIFT of weakness

Weaknesses - we all have them. It seems as though during this stressful season of isolation and constant unknowns; our weaknesses are becoming more prominent.

This week O.C. share’s Paul’s heart regarding how our weaknesses are actually a GIFT as written in 2 Corinthians 12.

1. Weakness protects us from pride, preventing us from boasting and instead reminding us of our need for God. Like Paul’s thorn in his flesh, it’s a constant reminder that we must remain humble because we are not perfect.

2. Our weakness propels us to pray. In a season of weakness, how often do you find yourself on your knees praying to God for help, for healing, for change, for anything. Our weakness draws us closer to Him.

3. Weakness precedes the power of our purpose. God’s power is found in our weakness not in our strength. While we may admire the strong, we connect with others through our weaknesses. We are challenged to share our weaknesses so that the power of God can strengthen us.

This week, would we pray to not attempt to be self-sufficient but rather to press into the Lord through prayer, be vulnerable enough to put our weaknesses on display, and allow God to guide us in strength.
