“When I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 CORINTHIANS 12:10
The
way of the world says that in order to be
stronger, we must build ourselves up and seek strength and dominance
over others. Christians everywhere are keenly interested in how to be
increased, how to be stronger, how to take authority, how to rise up,
how to get more. They look for methods, formulas, and techniques for
becoming bigger and better. The results have been disappointing. Many
mistakes have been made and many people have been hurt and
disillusioned.
The
Lord has a different approach for us to take. He invites us to accept
weakness in order to be strengthened. We do not become strong by
embracing strength, but by embracing weakness! This is the secret of all
spiritual power. When Paul learned this secret he was able to say,
“When I am weak, then I am strong.” This makes no sense to the natural
man.
