Everybody is human, so everybody has weaknesses
,But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV)
The Word says, “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10) We’re supposed to be strong, but we find our strength in the Lord, not in ourselves. To help others understand that our strength is in the Lord, we need to be open about our own human weaknesses and lacks, but at the same time, we show His strength by fighting to be strengthened in our weak areas and testifying to others about how the Lord is pulling us through.
Everybody is human, so everybody has weaknesses in some area. When we honestly admit our lacks, it is so that the Lord will get the credit and the glory when He works through us, and people will know it is the Lord and His power being made perfect in us.
The whole point is we’re supposed to be strong in the Lord. That’s what we’re striving for. We can admit and confess our weaknesses, but we shouldn’t dwell on them. Once we admit our weaknesses, we need to realize and be thankful that the Lord is going to make us strong, so we can do something for Him.
“The people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” (Daniel 11:32 ) That’s the goal! So let’s “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” —Maria Fontaine [1]
