GOD EQUIPS US THROUGH DIFFICULTY
“Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and in difficulties, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ”
2 Corinthians 12:9b-10
▪️Dependence on God’s power in our weakness is what makes us strong. The source of our strength is Him, not anything in ourselves.
▪️Weaknesses, insults, persecutions, and difficulties all create space for God’s power to operate.
▪️During difficulty, God doesn’t always help us to escape but to endure. And in this endurance, we get to witness God’s mighty power at work.
❓How does God equip us through
tough times instead of just giving
us an easy, comfortable life?
❓How does our weakness make us strong?
❓How can suffering or weakness
be a more relatable and powerful
witness to friends who are
also struggling?
