“Since I know it is all for Christ's good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10 (NLT)
That is a thought we need to keep close to our lives and let run deep into our heads. It seems that our most desperate moments is where god will be seen greatest in our lives. That is profound, and that is God.
Rick Warren said: “Instead of hiding and denying our weaknesses, we need to learn to recognize them. We need to learn to share them. And we need to learn to glory in our weaknesses.”
To learn what to do when we are weak will teach how we must rely on God. It teaches us how we shares God will others. We learn that in every moment, either critical or no, God is able to calm our fears, open tough doors, fix big problems or simply hold us tight. By the way, I need that. How about you?
In ministry we must learn to allow God to fill our weakness, and we must learn to allow our weaknesses to thrive so that God can be seen. Be honest when you are weak.
Paul tells is in 2 Corinthians. “We don't go around preaching about ourselves; we preach Christ Jesus, the Lord. All we say about ourselves is that we are your servants because of what Jesus has done for us. For God, who said, ‘Let there be light in the darkness,’ has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us.” (2 Cor. 4:5-7 TEV)
God uses ordinary people like you and me to do great things when we allow God to use our weakness for His best.
