Daily Devotional - Make Room - WK1 - 1/2/25 - Day 2 - "Strength In Weakness"

Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“Strength in Weakness”
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

Devotion:
Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 remind us of a profound truth: God's power shines brightest in our moments of weakness. When we feel insufficient, God’s grace steps in, not to cover our shortcomings but to transform them into opportunities for His glory.

Paul’s struggles, often referred to as his “thorn in the flesh,” served a purpose. Instead of being a source of despair, they became a means for Paul to rely on God’s strength. This verse challenges us to embrace our limitations, trusting that God’s grace will not only sustain us but will allow His strength to work through us.

Application:

• Reflect on an area of your life where you feel weak or inadequate. Surrender it to God in prayer, asking for His grace and strength.
• Practice gratitude for challenges, recognizing how they can deepen your dependence on Christ.
• Encourage someone today who might be struggling. Share how God’s grace has been sufficient in your life.

Takeaway Thought:
Your weakness is not a barrier to God’s work in your life—it’s an invitation for His power to shine through you.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your all-sufficient grace. In my moments of weakness, remind me that Your power is made perfect. Help me to lean on You, trusting that You can turn my struggles into testimonies of Your glory. Use my life as a vessel of Your strength and grace. Amen.
