BE COMFORTED!
II Corinthians 12:9, KJV
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
At times, we mourn when we don't know what is for us. We may even get to a juncture where we cry, "alas master, what shall we do? (II Kings 6:15)" That is because we haven't seen what is for us. And just like Elisha told his servant, we also need God to open our eyes to what is God's provision for us. Until then, we'll never align with God, exercise faith or have our mountain made strong.
There are those who are mourning - crying and lamenting over one perceived weakness or the other. They are riddled with it and they know that unless the excellent power of Christ comes to rest on them, they can therefore do nothing. However, God is saying this morning for your comfort, "my strength is made perfect in your weakness." What that means is that my strength finds full expression when people don't know what to do, are limited by one thing or the other, look unto me for help and survival. It is at that time or instant that they have come to the end of themselves that my strength would go in to strengthen them.
My strength appreciates and expresses itself to the fullest in the lives of weak, desirous and surrendered vessels. If you ever want to see God, take the state or status of being weak. You'll see God use His full power on your behalf.
God is saying, "look away from your own perceived weakness and put your trust in Me. Look away from what should have made you yourself and let reliance solely rest on what I can do."
At such a point, there is no end to what I can do. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. It is then, it can fully compensate for our shortcomings or problems and that is what is happening to some people today.
God is saying, you may be incapable but I am here to make you capable. Stop putting your attention on what is buffeting you or makes you inadequate. Rather, my strength is made perfect in your weakness. How can I best put it if not to give you assurance that God is attracted to your helplessness and weakness and He'll show Himself strong on your behalf. You know, if you want a vehicle to have a smooth travel, then let it journey on tiled roads. When the Lord says His strength is made perfect in your weakness, it means God works best when men think they are down and manifest strongly in glory by aiding or raising them up.
Stop mourning. What the devil meant for evil is being turned for good. What should have put your back to the ground is now the springboard by which God is doing the mighty. Say to yourself, "God's strength is made perfect in my weakness."
PRAYER: God's strength is made perfect in my weakness. Glorify yourself in me.
