How's Your Faith Today? From Testing to Testimonyਨਮੂਨਾ

Day 5 - Depending on the Spirit's Strength

Scripture:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

Reflection:
Paul begged God to remove his "thorn," but God gave him grace to endure it. Sometimes God calms the storm, and sometimes He strengthens His child in the storm. Both are miracles.

We've all seen believers who walk through suffering with peace that makes no sense to the world. Their calm isn't denial—it's divine. That is the Spirit's power on display.

When we reach the end of our own strength, God's strength begins. The Spirit doesn't erase weakness; He fills it with supernatural endurance. Each time we lean into His power, our testimony grows, not because we conquered the trial, but because God carried us through it.

Application:
Where do you feel weakest right now?
Instead of trying harder, pray: "Holy Spirit, be my strength here."
Journal one way you've seen His strength sustain you - it's likely proof He's still doing it today.

Prayer:
Lord, I can't do this in my own strength. Fill me with Your Spirit and let Your power shine through my weakness. Teach me to stop striving and start relying, that my weakness may become the canvas for Your strength. Amen.
