My Weakness. His Power. - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Boast About My Weakness His grace is plenty for me. His power is perfected in my weakness. What a concept! Good then, because I have plenty of that to go around! I will boast about my weaknesses: pride, jealousy, anger, worry, lack of faith, self pity. Boy, it stings for me to write that list. And of course there are more. But the verse says to BOAST about them! Why? So that His power may reside in me. I want that. Then, the writer of the verse really lays in on thick. He also says he takes pleasure in insults. I'm going to stop right there for a sec. Because I usually read through this verse like a motorcar.
