Inspiration

2 Corinthians 12:10, NLT

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.

We all have times in life when we get weary and don't feel like we can go on. We've prayed, and we've believed, but nothing has changed. Now the weight of what we're facing has left us exhausted. The good news is that God doesn't expect you to be strong all the time. He doesn't fault you for feeling weak and say, "What's wrong with you? Where's your faith?"

Today's Scripture makes it clear that when you feel overwhelmed and weak, Christ comes in with power and gives you special strength. Strength that you didn't get on your own. Strength to move forward when you should be stuck, strength to overcome the addiction, strength to outlast the opposition. It's the hand of God lifting you, empowering you, reenergizing you, causing you to run and not be weary, to walk and not faint. There's going to be a strength that's not natural, but supernatural. You're going to have a new passion to stand strong, to try again, to step up to a new level.

Father, thank You that I can take pleasure in the weaknesses that I sometimes feel, knowing that You come with power to give me special strength. Thank You for the reminders to always be asking for Your help. I believe that You are supplying me with all I need. In Jesus' Name, Amen
