"I AM WEAK!"

2 Corinthians 12:9-10            (1599 Geneva Bible)
"9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakness. Very gladly therefore will I rejoice rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."


Last Evening I attended a conference in a out of town city.  We didn't get home until after midnight.   I used to be able to survive on less sleep, but lately I NEED at least eight hours of rest to function efficiently.  This morning, I am finding it difficult to focus on what I need to focus.  I am WEAK!!!

The Apostle Paul realized when "I AM WEAK", then Christ is better able to use us.  I know I don't feel like resisting good or evil when I get weary.  I seem to just TRUST THE LORD that HE will do with me what HE will.

Scripture says in verse 9 above that Paul "rejoiced" in his infirmities, or WEAKNESS, that the power of CHRIST may dwell in me.  Maybe I don't submit as proficiently when I rested?  Maybe when "I AM WEAK" I just give in to HIS guidance and leadership more easily because  I don't have the energy to try and "figure things out"?

All I know is Paul said in verse nine "Very gladly" he would rejoice, and in verse ten he took "pleasure" in his weaknesses.  Today, I should be very glad and taking tremendous pleasure!  "I AM WEAK"!!!
