Strength in weakness

2 Corinthians 12:10
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

This was a part of the sermon on Sunday. The emphasis was on understanding that in our weakness, we will witness the grace of God in our circumstances as He leads us through with His provision and strength.

Boy is it really hard to delight in weaknesses and all hardship. I cannot really swallow the truth mentioned by Paul because it is a hard message.Yet, that is also the reality of life. As I witness individuals fall sick and get hospitalised, it is only through this physically weakness that they have nothing except for the grace of God to empower them with the needed strength that will pull them through.
