"Christ…is not weak toward
you, but mighty in you."
2 Corinthians 13:3
If anything brought the apostle Paul to his wit’s end, it was the
problems in the church he established at Corinth. He loved the
believers there like his own children, but their problems, errors,
lapses, and failures drove him to distraction. Near the end of his
final letter to them, he urged them to remember all the strength
available to all of them in Christ. “For though He was crucified in
weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are
weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God
toward you” (2 Corinthians 13:4).
Each of us have particular strengths and weaknesses,
and sometimes our weaknesses rule over our strengths.
But in our walk of faith, we can tap into Christ’s strength.
If you’re facing a crisis today, let the Lord calm you. If you
have a problem with no resolution, give it to Him. If there’s
an opportunity, ask God to strengthen you for it. If you feel
weary, remember how God gives us strength sufficient for
each day (Deuteronomy 33:25). Christ is not weak toward
you, but mighty in you!
"Whatever and wherever we are at any given
moment of any given day, God is God enough!"
