I Am: a weak God

I Am: a weak God by ric gustafson


As God's people, we will encounter thorns in our lives. Paul describes a thorn in his side in II Corinthians. Like Paul, we plead to God to take our thorns away. But God says to us, my grace is sufficient for you. Since God's grace is sufficient, God's power is made perfect in weakness. When we are weak, we encounter a new height of grace.
When I am weak I am strong is a paradox. A handicap can be a pathway to a higher place of grace. When we are weak, the Holy Spirit's power becomes greater in us. When we are weak, God's grace will overcome our weaknesses and give us strength.
