"When
I am weak, then I am strong"
2
Corinthians 12:10
God's
idea of strength and man's idea of strength are opposite one another.
The
Lord told Paul, "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Dor. 12:9). Having learned this lesson, Paul could then
say, "When I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Cor. 12:10). A paradox? Not really.
Only when Paul admitted his own weakness and was willing to get out of
the way, could God take over and work.
If
we try to do God's will in our own strength, then we can take the credit for
whatever gets accomplished. But that
isn't God's way! When we let His strength work through us, then He alone will
get the glory--and that is as it should be.
