In Weakness, God is There - Tym House
Update: 2024-07-08
Description
I do believe Paul's point is easily made at the end of our
reading. And that is that God's power is
made stronger in our human weakness.
Therefore, boasting and weakness allows for Christ's power
and grace to be made more evident. Or, in our English translation of this, it's
perfected. But why? Why is the divine's
power perfected in weakness? Maybe
because when human weakness is exposed, we get to see our gracious and
compassionate God do things our humanity cannot do well on its own.
Maybe because in weakness, one must rely on something else
beyond themselves to overcome. Maybe
because in weakness, God likes to use those spaces to do things that exceed our
expectations. Or maybe because in our
boasting about our strength, we lose sight for our need of God and we think we can do things on our own.
