Weak
from Emmaus at Pilot Mill · host Micah MacDonald
Today I am very weak--weak body,weak heart,lacking ability,devoid of resolve,little anticipation,waves of discouragement,whispers of fear,dreading a sleepless night,expecting the pain of the morning,wishing to run,nowhere to hide,feeling sentenced to what I cannot survive.Wondering, “How long?”Questions--no answers.But I have come to understandthat my weakness is a grace,that hopelessness is not a prison.Hopelessness is a doorway.There is no shame in weakness.I was created weak,designed to be dependent.To confess weaknessis to own my humanity.To own my humanityis to embrace my need of help.To embrace my need of helpmeans to open the door to God’s warehouse ofprotecting, providing,comforting,confronting,strengthening,hope-giving, andmotivating grace.Today I am weak,but I will boast in my weaknessfor when I am weak,for me, you are strong.________________________________The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable…I Corinthians 12:22Recall ways that God has supported you during times of physical or emotional weakness.Are you able to rejoice in your own weakness? Pray for God’s help to develop such an attitude.For further study and encouragement, read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10
