“I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs,
in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when
I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 CORINTHIANS 12:10
Now
it does not say that Paul made himself weak on
purpose. We do not have to seek weaknesses, infirmities, tribulations,
temptations, or trials. We already have them. The key is how do we
respond to them? We can fight them, or we can embrace them. Paul clearly
shows us that it is not always God’s will for us to be saved FROM the
fire. Often we are called to walk THROUGH the fire, with no assurance
except that His Grace is sufficient. In the fire we learn that “Grace”
is a Man, just like Victory is a Man.
To be delivered from weakness is one thing, but to meet Grace in my weakness is something else entirely.
