“When I am Weak, then I am Strong!”

What do you do when you feel weak? You want to give in and go back to bed but the Bible says,“Let the weak say, 'I am strong.” (Joel 3:10) But why would you say that you are strong when you’re feeling flimsy? It’s a battle and you will end up on one side or the other depending on what you chose to think and say. If you entertain pity it will take over your house, have a party and leave you feeling puny. But if you decide to be strong then the power of God within will rise up and refresh you. Good food is fuel for your body and good faith fuel for your soul. Hebrews chapter eleven talks about ordinary people who by faith did extraordinary things. “Who through faith…out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle.” (Heb 11:33-34)

Heb 11:11-12
By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude — innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
NKJV

Abraham was, “as good as dead” now that’s bad! But God the Great Creator is greater then any human weakness, enemy or foe, obstacle or woe! He is “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did” (Rom 4:17) So Abraham…

“…not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Rom 4:19-22 NKJV

He believed! Not in his own ability but in the Almighty. So ee was “strengthened in faith” and he became what he believed according to what was spoken. (Rom 4:18) Likewise you will either be weak or strong according to what you choose to believe. You can always be strong because God’s grace is sufficient and His power’s perfected in weakness.

2 Cor 12:9-10
9 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. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
NKJV

The key is to focus on God’s strength and not your weakness. The question is not if you’re weak alone, sorry but that’s apparent. But you’re not alone and your plight is insignificant when compared to the magnitude of God’s might! It’s going to be alright because Jesus is your bright and shining Knight who shows up in the middle of your fight, puts the enemy to flight and makes your fright seem trite. So…

“ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!”
Eph 6:10NKJV
