Leading Through Weakness - Mike Betts
"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-11, NIV)"
Why does Paul not feel disqualified by felt weakness? It seems that over time, he has even come to see it as an asset! How can this be? What does he mean by weakness? In a world that seems to prize personal strength and capability, Paul’s statements on ‘weakness’ require further thought.
