When I Am Weak Then I Am Strong

 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong 2 Corinthians 12:10.

           We are strong when we are weak because we can gain our strength by the grace, strength, power and help of God. O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak - 2 Chronicles 14:11. God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence - ‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬-‭29‬.

God helps us in our weakness

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need - ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬-‭16.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness - Romans 8:26.

God's grace is sufficient for us and His power is made perfect in our weakness

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me - 2 Corinthians 12:9.

God strengthens us when we are weak

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10.

God gives us power & increases our strength when we are weak

He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength - ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭29‬.

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank you for helping us in our weaknesses by giving us Your grace, strength and power. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
