✝️ Real strength isn’t about polished words or perfected personas—it’s about God’s power showing up in our weakness.

Paul reminds us that the power of the Gospel isn’t in our eloquence or outward strength, but in the cross of Christ and the grace that carries us in our weakest moments.

Today’s reflection invites you to ask:

• Am I leaning on my own strength or boasting in my weakness for Christ?

• Am I staying within the boundaries of what God has called me to?

• Am I comparing myself to others or finding contentment in the lane God gave me?

📖 “For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect.”

— 1 Corinthians 1:17 (CSB)

📖 “This is what the Lord says:

The wise person should not boast in his wisdom;

the strong should not boast in his strength;

the wealthy should not boast in his wealth.

But the one who boasts should boast in this:

that he understands and knows me—

that I am the Lord,

showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth,

for I delight in these things.

This is the Lord’s declaration.”

— Jeremiah 9:23-24 (CSB)

📖 “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.’ Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me.”

— 2 Corinthians 12:9 (CSB)
