Daily Devotions: When Weak, We Are Strong - September 09, 2026

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT) – “Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on the life and unique ministry of the Apostle Paul, highlighting how he chose to boast in his weaknesses rather than his monumental achievements. He addresses the popular debate surrounding Paul's "thorn in the flesh," showing that in biblical context, this messenger of satan refers to the severe persecutions, insults, and hardships Paul encountered from people everywhere he went.   Pastor Sumrall explains that God’s power works best when we reach the end of our own strength, as our weaknesses allow God's glory to be fully revealed. Instead of operating in pride or striving to be popular big-name influencers, we are called to embrace His grace as all-sufficient. By relying completely on His strength during our trials, we can confidently declare that when we are weak, then we are truly strong. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
