Anchor Bible Verse of the day

And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

– 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)

The apostle Paul likely shared this verse to encourage believers to embrace their weaknesses and vulnerabilities, recognizing that it is in these moments that God’s power is most clearly demonstrated.

We all know the great things he did, especially in propagating the Gospel. Nonetheless, despite thorns in his flesh, he didn’t give up.

By boasting in his infirmities, Paul sought to shift the focus from his limitations to God’s limitless strength and grace.

Key Explanations:

  • My grace is sufficient for you: God’s grace is abundant and fully capable of meeting our every need.
  • My strength is made perfect in weakness: God’s power is most evident and effective in our moments of weakness and vulnerability.

Reflection on “Strength in Weakness”

Today we are invited to consider the profound truth that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

In the verse for today, we see that Paul found assurance in God’s grace. This means that we too can find comfort and confidence in knowing that God’s power is made manifest in our times of greatest need.

A similar sentiment is expressed in Isaiah 40:29, which says:

He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Here, we are reminded that God is our source of strength, who empowers us to overcome our weaknesses and face life’s challenges with courage and resilience.

I may not know what exactly your anxieties are, but what I know is a God, who through His son Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the precious Blood that was spilled, are at your disposal. Beloved plead the Blood over every bad situation (weakness) you face.

As believers, let us embrace our weaknesses, knowing that they allow God’s strength to be displayed in our lives.
