Weakness

Daily Vitamin

Weakness — “I now enjoy a delightfully different frame of mind when I encounter things that would normally make me feel frail, whether it be from insults or when I am in situations where I’m forced to do things with my arms twisted behind my back; whether I am persecuted or feel squeezed into claustrophobic spaces. Because of Christ, every time that I encounter weakness I escape into the strength of my I am-ness.” (2 Corinthians 12:10, The Mirror Bible)

Our weakness and strength both come from our mindsets. Whether we believe that we are weak or strong comes from our belief systems. Some belief systems come from our upbringing, others from society. With a renewing of our minds, we can cast off the stinking thinking and become strong in Christ!

Paul gives us a clear way to renew or thoughts. “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.” (Romans 12:2, The Passion Translation)

Today is the day to start the process of strengthening our thoughts!

Let’s Pray:

Daddy God! Thank You for this fresh day to experience Your strength in our weakness. Help us shift our mindset from feeling frail to escaping into the strength of our I am-ness in Christ. Break off every lie that society and our upbringing has planted about who we are and what we're capable of. Holy Spirit, transform us inwardly through a total reformation of how we think. We're done with stinking thinking! Today we choose to stop imitating the culture's weak opinions about us and start living from the strength that Christ has already provided. Renew our minds so we can live that beautiful, satisfying, perfect life in Your eyes. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Be a Blessing,

Sir Gregory
