2 Corinthians 12:9
2 Corinthians 12:9
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.
God’s grace is not just an act of mercy but a source of strength, particularly in our moments of weakness. This verse reveals the paradox of God’s strength being made perfect in our weakness, emphasizing that when we are at our lowest, God’s power is most clearly displayed. In times of struggle, it is God’s grace that lifts us up, and His strength becomes evident as we rely on Him. This verse encourages us to embrace our weaknesses, knowing that they are the very places where God's power shines brightest. Faith in God’s grace allows us to face challenges with confidence, trusting that His strength will sustain us. Praise and worship, then, are responses to the sufficiency of God's grace, as we celebrate the truth that we do not need to rely on our own strength but can find all we need in His provision. God’s grace in our weakness is not just a theological concept but a lived reality that strengthens our faith and empowers us to endure.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee?

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
