Daily Wisdom

“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 Cor 12:10

It’s been an argument and belief in humanity that the stronger dominate the weaker and in some warped justification even determine who lives and who dies, and yet they can’t make their own heartbeat; arrogance.  The power they desire and claim, they possess none of it, it’s the mercy of God that sustains man even when God is hated. The proclaimed weakest among us have a story, that when told through the mercy and power of God gives hope to the so called strong. Though it appears foolish to many, it’s still empowering “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” (1 Cor 1:25)  Man often gets confused in his efforts by mistaking them as his success, and becomes obsessed with his own glory, rather than obsessed with the glory of God. Paul realized that in both his physical and spiritual weakness, he found the power and glory of God that sustained him better than life itself.  Your only real strength comes from what you stand upon, and that will define the story you tell. So, is it about what you built or is it “Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.” Eph 2:20

Strength can’t come from you and God, it’s either you or God!
