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.
2 Corinthians 12:10
I recently went through a season in life filled with change and challenges. My son was sick, I was pregnant, we were selling our house, we were house hunting, we were going on vacation, and we were moving churches. I don't like change. Adapting and flexibility are not words my family would use to describe me so when a LOT of change is given at once I feel a little broken and overwhelmed. I feel like that season was one I could title survival.
Looking back, I am so thankful for that season of survival. I was weak, I struggled, I did got through it but I did it in no other way than by the grace of God. I got to see how GOOD my God was and is and how He is enough to fill in all the places where I feel I was not measuring up which was everywhere. I juggled more balls during the season of survival, I called in more favors, I channeled more energy, and drew upon more strength that I ever have in my life and it still was not enough. The only way I survived was with His strength. God is in our corner, friends. He will be our strength.
Dear God, When I am weak you are strong but often I focus on simply surviving. Help me to lean on you for support. You so desperately want to give it to me.
Amen.
