The Strength of God Perfected in Weakness

The Daily CHEW™
Moving God’s Love From Head to Heart for Christian Professionals


The God of Scripture has never measured power the way the world measures it. He spoke galaxies into being and then chose, in Christ, to display His glory at a cross. His strength is not diminished by frailty and is not impressed by self-sufficiency. His power does not arrive after the saints have cleaned themselves up. His power is perfected precisely where the saints are weakest. This is the way the Almighty has always worked — sovereign, deliberate, and unembarrassed by the small places where He puts His glory on display.

How God’s Love Shines Here

The Lord said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10) Notice the active subject. The Lord speaks. The Lord supplies. The Lord perfects. Grace is not a response that has to catch up to need; grace is sufficient — present tense, settled, already enough. The power of Christ is what rests upon the weak, and it rests there by His own design.

Clarity

The God who is strongest where His people are weakest is the God we worship this morning.

Hear

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Exchange

If you really believed God’s love is the love whose strength is perfected — not diminished — in your weakness, how would that change what you are feeling, and what you are believing about God, yourself, and others?

Walk

Worship Him today for the staggering kindness of a God who has made weakness the meeting place of His power.

Worship Response

Praise the God whose grace is already sufficient and whose power is already perfect in the very places His people feel smallest. He has chosen, from before the foundation of the world, to be magnified in the weakness of the Beloved. To Him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

With you on the journey,

How great is the God whose strength is perfected, not threatened, by the weakness of His own?
