Weakness or Strength?
Do you ever feel spiritually weak? If so, you are not alone. In fact, if anyone ever tells you otherwise, they are lying; if they seem otherwise, they are posing.
The church in Philadelphia was also weak, but in that weakness remained true to God and his word. [See Revelation 3:8] This is most encouraging to all of us weak people.
A strong weakness may seem like an oxymoron, but it's not. When we are weak, we can turn to God who gives us the strength we need. As Paul said, "When I am weak, then I am strong." [2 Corinthians 12:10]
So, despite our weaknesses, we can prevail by God's strength.
