Today's verse may seem like the Lord is saying that we have to be weak so He can look strong, but this verse actually tells us the opposite. When we are weak, He comes right beside us to strengthen us.

Look at Moses. He stuttered, he was a murderer, and he had been adopted by a group of people who were enslaving his biological family members. But he is known for the burning bush, parting the Red Sea, and bringing the Hebrew people into the Promised Land. But did Moses really do those things? No. God used Moses, but it was ultimately God’s power through Moses, strengthening and emboldening him to do what God had asked.

Sometimes, our kiddos look really weak to the outside world. They may have sensory struggles, weak fine or gross motor skills, lack of communication skills, behaviors, etc. But we know that through Christ, that just isn’t true. If God can use Moses, He can use our children. And He will.

Our kiddos aren’t here by accident. They are here with a divine purpose from our Creator. A God who loves them deeply and cares just as much about their story as anyone else’s. When they are weak, and when we are weak, HE is strong.

Prayer

“God, thank you for loving our children. We know you love them more than we do, and even though it’s impossible to wrap our minds around, it’s a beautiful thing. That if we care about our children and their future, that you care even more about them. Thank you for their past, present, and future and we thank you for the hope we have in you. We trust You and lean into YOUR understanding that when we are weak, when our children are weak, you are strong. And we thank you for YOUR plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
