BEST IN WEAKNESS

PRAYER MOMENT


Saturday 20 June 2015


BEST IN WEAKNESS


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “My grace is enough for you: my power is at its best in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:1-10)


Reflection. This is one of those upsidedown sayings of the New Testament. It is hard to imagine President Obama or any president saying, ‘my power is at its best in weakness.’ Yet Paul says it deliberately at the end of a passage where he recounts the many favours and blessiings he has received. It is actually a tough saying and a saving one too. Think of any example: Mother Teresa was diminutive Albanian lady with no resources. Yet in a few years she set up a world wide movement to reach out to the poor and the abandoned. People living with severe intellectual disabilities have a power, given the right circumstances, to transform the lives of those who live with them.    


Prayer. Lord, help us to know the power of weakness. What does this mean in my life. Amen.
