The Value of Weakness – (2 Corinthians 12)

2 Corinthians 12

The Apostle Paul faced many trials and tribulations during his ministry. He was repeatedly put in prison, beaten, stoned, and shipwrecked.

Philippians 3:14

As Christians God sets a goal for each of us. And that is to run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1). Each race is unique to each believer, but the objective is the same. We are all called to live lives of faithful obedience. We are to work for the betterment of God’s kingdom right up until that glorious moment when our Father calls us home. That means no dwelling on the mistakes of the previous day, but starting each new day fresh, forgiven, and ready to report to work for the Lord. And we do all of this for the unmerited and magnificent prize of Jesus Christ Himself!

There is no greater name under heaven than that of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. From the beginning He was with God, and He was God. (John 1:1) He is the Author and Perfecter of our faith, (Heb. 12:2), and it is only by His great name in which we can be saved. One day very soon Christ will return to rule. And everyone, believers, non-believers, angels and demons, will bow at the feet of Jesus and every tongue will confess Him as Lord. What a glorious day that will be will heaven and earth declare Him King!

In a year filled with chaos and turmoil, it’s no wonder so many of us are battling anxiety and worry. But as Christians we aren’t alone. God wants to fight the battle for us.
