Finding Strength in Unexpected Places
Read 2 Corinthians 12:9
Today’s Truth
The all-surpassing power of God is made perfect, in weakness. The places we are most feeble, are the best platform for the Lord to show His perfect strength. God can be most clearly seen when we stop our boasting and grandstanding — when we stop trying to prove to the world we can muscle up and push our way through. When there is no way, God shows up and blows all of our minds.
Discussion Questions
- Where do you feel weak today? What area are you tempted to hide away? Ask God to specifically show you how strong He is in those areas.
- Who is one person you can talk to about your weaknesses? Who is one person who can point out God’s strength in your weakness even if you can’t always see it? When can you talk with them this week?
Application
It is easy to hide behind the best parts of us. It is easy to show the world the beautiful and perfect. But in the lumps and bumps, in the hard parts that make us want to hide away, God comes and shows how perfect He is and how much He can do.
Today, let’s choose to embrace what God can do when we are at our worst. Let’s trust God will be strong in us.
