Weak Is the New StrongSample

What do you consider your deepest weaknesses? 

What gives me the credentials to write a devotional about weakness? I could not escape weakness. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. Facing the reality of weakness has been part of my daily life since day one. 

God experienced weakness. We celebrate Christmas because our all-powerful Jesus let Himself vulnerably become weak on earth, being born as a helpless baby! Every person is born with a weakness! It’s inevitable and inescapable. 

I had a choice. Faced with the weakness of not being able to walk like most able body people and talking with a slur, I could have chosen to let the circumstances of life hinder me, paralyze me or slow me down. Instead, because of Jesus, I took a different route. When Jesus met a paralyzed man, Jesus gave him a purpose for his weakness- “so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” (‭John‬ ‭9:3‬ ‭NASB‬‬). 

Today, meditate on God’s wonderful works being displayed through each of your weaknesses.
