Strength out of weakness 

"Then He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness. Gladly therefore more glory in my infirmities, that rest upon me the power of Christ. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong "2 Cor. 12: 9,10 

They deluded themselves into becoming the enemies of faith. They thought that distresses and tribulations diminish our confidence in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. On the contrary, in our  weakness we draw strength. So that when we think that we are weak, we are actually strong. 

The Holy Spirit is with us in the same way as it was with our father in faith. We know that in times of difficulty, persecution and weakness, God's power is manifested. The force that sustains us is our faith, which in turn is supported through the living God. We do not rely on the strength of our arm, and much less with someone else's arm. 

We have God and our faith that connects us to Him. So no matter if we feel weak or if we feel strong. We know in whom we have placed our faith and we are pretty sure that He is powerful and faithful to fulfill His Word. 

Besides that, we believe in the promise that any tribulation is momentary, and in the morning comes joy: "At nightfall you can see the tears, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30: 5 

Servants of God, however your struggles, tribulations and persecutions comes, God is in control of everything. Renew your strength in prayer, daily meditation on the Word of God, and stand firm in faith. 

Fear not, God will never forsake you. 

God bless.
