2 Corinthians 12:9-10
“He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.”
The Apostle Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, a bustling Roman city. He's defending his apostleship against critics and has just described a profound spiritual experience, but also a persistent 'thorn in the flesh.' This passage immediately follows his account of praying repeatedly for God to remove that thorn.
What does it mean for you to find strength not in overcoming weakness, but within it?
