"Since I know it is all for Christ's good, I am quite
content with my weaknesses....for when I am week, then I am strong." (2Corinthians 12:10) NLT
Regardless of how strong our faith is, someday we all come to
the end of ourselves. We come to the point of saying to the Lord, "I can't
cope with this on my own, I need you Jesus." Whether it is earthly
struggles, spiritual warfare, or illness that brings us to our knees, we need
to learn that Christ is all we need.
Have you ever been in a position where the only way out was a
miracle? There is nothing like seeing God make a way where there is no way.
That's why it is so sad to see believers struggle to fix problems on their own
without the help of God. We need to understand that God brings us to the point
of weakness, not to break us or discourage us, but so that we might learn how
to tap into His supernatural power! The Lord wants us to turn to Him as our
first reaction, not as our last resort. Whatever your situation, don't try to
do it all, let Christ do what only He can do. He is the Great Physician!
