You cannot run away from a weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand. --Robert Louis Stevenson
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. Romans 7:18
I am thankful when Christ was about to ascend into Heaven He told us (those that are saved) that He was leaving us the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. (John 14:26) He did this so that we could have strength. He did it so that we could have understanding of His Word and Wisdom to apply it. He did it so that we can have victory in this life- victory over sin- victory over self- victory over death!
Do you have a weakness in your life you just don’t seem to have the strength to overcome? Maybe it’s time to quit trying in your flesh and give it to Christ. Stand up right where you are at and have faith to see Him work it through! I am reminded of what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
