Strength for My Weakness

Spotters are such important figures for powerlifters. No matter how strong they are, in order to reach new peaks in their progress, they have to find someone to support them in case their weakness appears in an unexpected moment. Spotters are not a sign of inability; they are a safeguard in case you get too weak in the process.

Holy Spirit has been the consistent spotter to provide strength in your areas of weakness. He sees your areas of frailty and instead of exposing your deficiency, He provides strength. There is an amazing grace that accompanies weaknesses and that grace is power coming from God.

Weaknesses do not make you a weak person or believer. It simply means you are aware enough to know where you need more strength from God to support your life. Where people may leave you because of your weaknesses, God promises to lend His strength to them.

Father, Thank You for knowing exactly how You wired me. Thank you for the strength for the areas of my greatest weakness and for loving me exactly how You made me. I rejoice in my weaknesses because I know in them, You are going to provide me strength.
