…For when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
Everything we need is
found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God—and I think it is fair to say that we can
never use all of the spiritual power and victory He is able to provide. He is
all the guilty sinner needs and He is more than the fondest expectations of the
loftiest saint!
If we are going to
stand up for Jesus, it is good for us to remember how strong He is—and how weak
we are! I settled this long ago. I tell you I have talked to God more than I
have talked to anyone else and my conferences with Him have been longer than
with anyone else.
I have told Him: “Now,
Lord, if I say what I know in my heart I should say, and if I do what I know I
should do, I will be in trouble with people and with groups.”
Then after praying
more, I have said: “Almighty Lord, I accept this with my eyes open! I will not
run. I will not hide. I will dare to stand up because I am on your side—and I
know that when I am weak, then I am strong!”
So, I don’t let anyone
praise me and I try not to pay attention to those who would blame me, for I am
only a servant of the holiest man that ever walked the streets of Jerusalem—and
they called Him a devil!
This is how I have
learned to stand fast for Christ, and for all that He is to His own!
