2 Corinthians 12:10

I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10)

Three points:

1. I am content.

This is hard isn't it. The hardest for me is to wait.

2. Weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, difficulties for Christ's sake.

These might come because we are Christians. Of course, if we're not living the way the Lord Jesus wants us to live, there won't be any of the above. If we live like the Devil, why should he bother to trouble us?

3. Weakness = strength.

It seems strange doesn't it? The examples in the Bible show this weakness to be relying on God instead of ourselves. It is not weakness in mind or purpose. Praying and waiting are blessed by God; He will answer.
