Weaknesses

“That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”2 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I find standing for long periods painful, I discovered this last year when I helped with a church conference. I found it again yesterday in handing out how to vote cards. Yet in other areas I am strong. I can walk long distances. Yet I was asked to stand. I managed to stay long enough to hand out my supply of how to vote cards. I had a good conversation with a man standing for election. He had not made it clear about his stance for family and he apologised. Apparently he has a large family. I am glad he was convicted. I know the incumbent member saw my Family First shirt and was also convicted. He had not voted in a godly way for babies and young children. Therefore, the little I had to give was enough for God’s purpose. He made the little a strength.

God can take what we have and make it much. We see that in scripture. The widow woman who went to Elisha had only a small flask of oil left and many debts after her husband’s death. God multiplied the little so that there was more than enough to pay the debts and provide for the now.

Though we appear weak, with Him we are strong! Amen!
