For I am weak...

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. 

2 Corinthians 12:9

This verse has come before me many times in the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd share what has given me help in my times of weakness. 

Our God is a living God and He has an interest in each one of our lives. He is a God that knows all and preserves those who seek to know Him. God brings each one of us into situations where we feel our weakness so keenly, and yet, the Bible says that in even in those times of weakness, we need to turn our eyes and our focus on Him. God doesn't always respond right away, or in the way we want, but He will answer, in His time. But through it all, God's power is shown most effectively in our weaknesses. 

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10

Then he said unto them, Go your way...:for this is day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

If you seek Him- to know Him and to draw closer to Him, then He will be shown even brighter through your weakness and your trials.  

We often become discouraged at our inability to produce results, but that doesn't stop the work of God. Do all for the glory of God, that He may be honored. God knows our situations, and He has a personal care for each one of us. He will be your help and guide and will be shown mighty in our times of weakness if we seek to give our lives to Him, no matter the visual results. 

Through it all that I might serve Him in whatever capacity He has placed me in

for the time: Will I serve Him through it all and be a willing channel for Him?

Channels only, blessed Master, 

But with all Thy wondrous power

Flowing through us, Thou canst use us

Every day and every hour.
