When I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10

This is one of the key verses in 2 Corinthians, and is one of the reasons I'm really glad we're going to be reading it together as a church during this time. Because the book helps to remind us that God has a completely different view on how the world works than we do! And it's great to be reminded of that at the moment!

The world will tell us that the path to happiness and security is found within us. True satisfaction comes from us having power and authority, us looking good, us having our needs met. Paul in 2 Corinthians points us to the cross, which shows that actually serving others, even at our own expense, is the key to true satisfaction, that in our weakness, we discover the power of God.

That's something that I think we all need daily reminders of at the moment. I know I do! It seems that every day I see something on the news, or hear a story from a friend or relative, or just observe the mundane nature of aspects of my life at the moment, and it all serves to remind me of the fact that life really isn't about me or about my ability or strength.

But God says this -

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
