In my weakness, you are my strength. This maybe contrary to what we want to believe in for ourselves, that is, that we are weak. But Paul glorified himself in His weakness, because he knew that he could then humble himself and call out to God to be His strength.
And God showed up. God was His Strength and Rescuer. God's grace was sufficient for Him while he had that "thorn in His flesh" and helped Him through difficulties.
For King David, God was His refuge and fortress, and helped Him in times of trouble.
So I am not sure what you are going through today, but just know, He is your Strength in your weakness. And that's awesome, because we don't have to pretend to have it all together. We can trust God to be the almighty "I AM" in our lives.
Amen
Enjoy this daily devotion.
