Your weakness is a not a liability. | Episode 130

Let’s start this week off with some good news. Listen to this Monday Mini podcast episode for some quick and practical encouragement to kick off your week and ground you in your calling. No matter what this upcoming week brings our way, we can start it off centering ourselves on the good of others and the glory of God.

Here’s the deal, right off the bat: your weakness is not a liability.

How can we know? Let’s turn to 2 Corinthians 12:9.

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.

Here are some questions to ask when you feel tempted to hide or discount your weaknesses:

  • Is this a kingdom weakness or a cultural weakness?
  • What is God building in you through this weakness?
  • Is there a big picture, and how can you trust in that?
  • Owning your weaknesses takes power away from the enemy and gives it to God.

    Confessing your weaknesses brings the refreshment that many of us are desperate for.

    Refusing to apologize for kingdom strengths that may be cultural weaknesses helps you – and every woman around you.

    Wherever you feel weak right now, God is not surprised or taken aback.

    God is mighty in you and your weaknesses are not a liability. We’ll see you Thursday!
