Yesterday I finished 2 Corinthians. Today I had some free time so I got out my friends iPod. As I was messing around on it I clicked videos forgetting what was in it. She had downloaded sermons and there was a sermon by one of my favorite pastors, Matt Moore. The title was The Beauty of Weakness. This one was on 2 Corinthians chapter 12 when Paul is talking about his weaknesses. I love how God continues to teach me things that I just read in the Bible.
I define myself by my strengths. I do not go around talking about everything I stink at. I like to fix my problems, and yet I want God to work in my life. I want to see Him do crazy big things. But when I finally realize that I am unable, God convinces me He is not only able but, willing.
Why do I want to walk in my weakness?
Because then I get to see God work. I don’t find worth in my strength, but in His power. When I walk in my weakness I get to invite God’s power into my life. I get to see His power! “For my POWER is made perfect in weakness.� I want to see that power!
How do I desire to walk in my weakness?
First, I have to pray that God will give me that desire, because there is nothing inside of me that would want to boast about what I am insecure or horrible at. But, because GOD Has given me an enormous desire to make Him known, this flows into the desire to do anything that will make this happen.
So how do walk in my weakness?
Those are the basics notes I took from the sermon.
So here’s to applying it!
So Teresa, (yes I talk to myself) what are your weaknesses?
Well, I had a long conversation with myself and God and I will share some in my next blog.
