“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.
