Day 9: Strength in Weakness
Scriptures:
2 Corinthians 12:9 (New Testament):
“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.”
Psalm 73:26 (Old Testament):
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
Reflection: 2 Corinthians 12:9 teaches that God’s strength is perfected in our weakness. Psalm 73:26 shows that even when we feel weak, God is our strength and portion forever.
Questions:
In what areas of your life do you feel weak, and how can you rely on God’s strength and grace in those areas?
How can acknowledging your weaknesses lead to a deeper reliance on God’s power and presence?
