Running on Empty: A 7-Day Journey of Strength and Enduranceنموونە

No one likes to feel weak. So often, we try to hide our weaknesses away. We hustle harder, we put on a happy face, and we try to go about life as usual. Why? Because our society has conditioned us to only show off the highlight reel.

But in this verse, God flips the script. He doesn’t use us in spite of our weaknesses; he displays his power through them!

That means you don’t have to pretend you’re okay when you’re not. You don’t have to clean yourself up before coming to him. When you feel like a mess, when your strength is gone, that’s exactly where God shows up. And when you let others see your cracks and struggles, you become a living picture of God’s grace.

Weakness isn’t the enemy. It’s the doorway to experiencing God’s strength in real and lasting ways.

Pray: Jesus, I’m tired of pretending. Thank you for meeting me in my weakness. I don’t want to hide anymore. Let my story point to your strength and grace. Amen.
