Read: 2 Corinthians 11: 22-33
Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes we enjoy testimonies where people talk about their weaknesses. Why the fetish with weaknesses? Because it is in our weaknesses that God is oftentimes magnified. Our world is preoccupied with strength, power, wealth, etc. But when the things of this world is pierced with exceptions, it is a pleasant reprieve. What a blessing when people like Martin Luther King, Jr. combated racism not with brute force, but with serene peace. What a pleasure when people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer attacked an unjust nation (Nazi Germany) despite his inglorious position as a jailed pastor? And what a treasure when people such as Mother Teresa lived in stark opposition to the glorification of wealth in the world?
My brothers and sisters, let us not fear weakness, but see it as a powerful way for God to show Himself strong.
During my visit at WCAC, I was able to see some of the EGITA videos. They all were amazing, by the way, and it was my loss that I couldn’t attend. But, I’d like to direct your attention to two videos. Spend some time watching one (or both!), and perhaps pray to God that He may show more of Himself to you and through you, despite your strengths...
... and weaknesses.
Note: if you are using the paper version of the devotional, please go to http://wcacyg.blogspot.com to view the videos.
