#2 corinthians 12:9

[walkswithmyfather]

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT). [9] “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”

Exodus 3:21-22 (AMP). [21] “And I will grant this people favor and respect in the sight of the Egyptians; therefore, it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. [22] But every woman shall [insistently] ask her neighbor and any woman who lives in her house, for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you are to plunder the Egyptians [leaving bondage with great possessions that are rightfully yours].” [Gen 15:14]

“The Effectiveness of God’s Way” by In Touch Ministries:

“Trusting God in our weakness helps us see the power and glory of God.”

“Yesterday we looked at Moses’ self-reliant attempt to rescue a Hebrew man from the cruelty of an Egyptian. Today, let’s see what God can do in the life of someone fully submitted to Him.

When we choose to submit to the Lord’s way, He’ll do amazing things in and through our life. Despite Moses’ failures, he was still used in accomplishing God’s purposes, but only after becoming usable—that is, humbled and broken of his self-will. Just consider what God achieved when Moses relinquished control:

• He showed what He could do through one yielded person.

• He proved the superiority of His way by freeing an estimated two million people without the loss of a single Hebrew life.

• He sent impoverished slaves out of bondage with their captors’ riches (Ex. 3:21-22).

• He demonstrated to both the Israelites and the Egyptians that He alone is the God of heaven and earth.

• He received all the glory.

Our past failures never prevent God’s willingness or ability to use us. In fact, our weakness is a great opportunity for the display of His power (2 Corinthians 12:9). In our own strength, we are ineffective. But when we submit to the Lord’s authority in our life, we can experience His victory in whatever He calls us to do.”

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Boasting about Weakness

Here I go, stepping out from under my “mighty woman of God” rock. Confession: I have weaknesses. Wait, what? Who wants to hear that? Bear with me. I promise there’s a point. Let me remind you, the Apostle Paul himself bragged about his weaknesses. He wrote, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,…

The Kind of Weakness That Actually Makes You Stronger

The world has always been a place defined by weakness and strength. Old cities in Europe didn’t build walls for the aesthetics. Our world today is full of conflicts where one nation is using its strength to try to subjugate a weaker nation. But being weak or strong is a relative concept, and it bears some thought today. In a surprising twist, the Bible suggests that the strongest moments you ever…

I think addictions or eating disorders are more like the thorn in the flesh Paul talked about.

And less like a false idol that offends God.

Paul's thorn was not Paul's God.
