No matter how hard we try, we are nothing without God. All that we are comes from God and His strength working through us. In 2 Corinthians 11:30 Paul says, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. The more we admit to our weakness and our source of strength, the more we can point to the One who deserves all the glory.

Don’t let current hardship dictate who you are. Often, our struggles in this life prepare us for lessons we learned in order to accomplish extraordinary things later on.

In today’s reading Paul spends a considerable amount of time intentionally boasting about all he has been through in serving God. While some people may read this and think of him as an arrogant person, in reality he is boasting about his weakness and lack of control in being able to control his circumstances. 2 Corinthians 11:30 says, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. Through Paul’s weakness he is obedient and trusts God to lead the way. No matter how strong we think we are, our strength pales in comparison to God’s strength and ability to lead our lives. Until we submit and recognize His power, we will always operate in our imperfect weakness.

1 Corinthians 1:25 says so much about God, For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. Not that God is weak or foolish, but the point is that He is much stronger than we could ever be. If He had a weakness it would still be stronger than our strongest strength (say that three times fast).

I love how this chapter ends, 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. Paul hopes for Jesus Christ himself and God to provide encouragement, hope, and strength to the church in Thessalonica. I pray the same for us as well. Only God can truly provide those things to us. We just need to humble ourselves and ask.
