2 Corinthians 12:10 AMP

So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].

2 Corinthians 12:10 AMP

When our mind is set positive, we would search out for the treasures in the midst of the storms of life.

For a mind that is set to find gold, will also find dirt, mud, dust and rocks in the process yet they are not bothered by it. If there is no mud, dirt, dust and rocks they may not find any gold.

In pursuit of the gold, one is not distracted by the breakdowns of machines and resources. They always find a way to fix it so that they can get to the gold they wanted.

Weaknesses are not what the scriptures are encouraging us to have but when we are weak or lacking in something, our mind can turn to the unlimited resources of God to empower us to strengthen ourselves.

God's power and His supernatural enablement are not going to manifest when there is no need for it. But at every crisis, we have the opportunity to see the glory of God.

Precious stones are formed because of pressures and chemicals around it. There is always something beautiful that can come out of every situation when we set our mind and heart to see it.

God's grace is sufficient for us in every situation that we go through in life. The grace of God is not to help us maintain our life in situations and circumstances we are in but to empower us to come out of it so that we all can pursue the life that God has set for us.

Let us draw on the strength of the Lord our God in every situation and look forward to seeing the good that will come forth from it.

Blessings
