“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
We are not told what Paul’s weakness was. However, he was now going to boast of it so that God’s power could be displayed. Paul had sought God three times for healing, but God’s reply was the above verse.
What weakness do you live with? Are you needing to depend on God for strength? Perhaps, God prefers to reveal His enabling power through you. Perhaps you have seen Nick Vujicic. He has no arms and legs but that does not stop him from preaching God’s word. He has not used his limitation to prevent him from doing anything he chooses. His preaching has set many a person free.
I have a hearing limitation, I have tinititus and hearing loss, but I am in Nepal learning to speak the language so that I can talk to the inhabitants about Jesus. Nepalese is a languagae that has many different sounds that all seem the same. However, I am learning to speak it. I have sought the Lord over many years for healing here and still remain as I am. Many other areas of my life I have received healing but not this area, yet. Whilst He has not told me that He will not heal me, I wait and am active learning.
Don’t excuse yourself from serving the Lord. He will sustain you! Amen!
