Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness
Power is made perfect in weakness, this scripture comes from where Paul is talking to the Corinthians about the thorn in his side and what Jesus has said to him about the thorn and what Jesus said in return to him each time, power is made perfect in weakness.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NIV) 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
I see this as in us as well. We should rejoice where we are, in what we are going through. Because we can show the world how big our Jesus is when he takes us through whatever we are facing. When others see us in the hardship whatever it may be and they can see us rejoicing then they see us later and we are through it. Then we can show them the power of Jesus when they ask “how in the world did you get through that mess without pulling your hair out?” Not me it was Jesus that saw me through it for Jesus said, my power is made perfect in weakness. This is another tool to lead others to the Lord…
No matter what the problem Jesus is bigger and if we will grasp this then we can understand My power is made perfect in weakness. There is so much in those few words for we are showing our trust in our Father and we are allowing Him to work in and through us. We allow Him to take control and use us in a mighty and powerful way. For it takes a lot more power to smile when there is a problem in our lives that to cry. Remember Matthew 17:20 (NIV) He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
