What if I were to say, "My goal today is to be weak"? You would first think I am crazy but then some of you would say that you were already there. You started your day and for some reason you feel weak in the faith.

Paul said some very strong words in 2nd Corinthians 12:10 - "Therefore, I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecution, with difficulties for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."

To the world this seems foolish. To an unbeliever Paul is just contradicting himself.

But for you as a child of God this is a great place to be. When you find yourself weak in the faith and you are having a bad day, that is when God shows up and shows us just how strong He really is. If we were never having a bad day, we would never know how good God is.

Paul says he is content with weaknesses because he knows who gives him strength anyway. So if you are feeling down and really not motivated to go any further - just be content and understand that God can do something about it. As a child of God you have a source of strength that this world can not and will not understand.

"Because when I am weak that is when He becomes strong"

Prayer: "Lord, some need you to provide strength today. The harder they try the further back they seem to go. Lift them up today and let them see that You are their strength."
