Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmity, that the power of Christ may rest upon me, for He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in needs, in reproaches, in distresses, for Christ’s sake, for when I am weak I am strong.” How many of us this morning are able to go through trials and infirmities gladly? Not many of us; because in times of trouble, in times of infirmities, Satan sends his messengers like thorns in the flesh to buffet us, lest we be exalted above measure, and he wins; because, instead of going through our situations praying and praising God, we allow ourselves to become weak, and we pray to God to let this pass from us, rather than asking him to go through it with us. But, we must learn to stand fast, to believe in God, who promised us, that his strength will perfect our weaknesses, that what was meant to hurt us that he will turn it around for our good; so my brothers and sisters in Christ, let the weak say this morning, I am strong, I am strong in the Lord, who promised that His strength will perfect my weakness. Praise the Lord!
