When I am weak, then I am strong. — 2 Corinthians 12:10

Weakness is something that we generally dislike. In contrast, strength is considered admirable. However, the apostle Paul said something perplexing in 2 Corinthians 12:10: "When I am weak, then I am strong." 

He said something, but how? He discovered that he had to totally rely on God's boundless grace when his own strength failed and his reserves of vitality and intelligence ran out. When he did that, he experienced something akin to what happens to a traveller in the desert who finds an oasis with an abundance of crystal-pure water and discards his bone-dry canteen.

 Have we figured out how to tap into God's boundless power instead of relying on our very inadequate self-sufficiency? 

We must acknowledge our weakness if we are to experience God's might. God shows us His tremendous sufficiency via our weakness; thus, if we allow Him to work through us, we will be able to witness His strength.

I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your . . . mother. — 2 Timothy 1:5

 Mothers' prayers and faith can have a significant influence on their children's life. Hannah begs God, and God responds by giving birth to her son Samuel, as recounted in First Samuel 1. Paul also mentioned Timothy's mother's faith in a letter to Timothy, which I'm sure was frequently expressed in fervent prayer on his behalf. It makes sense why God employed him in the early church. 

Mothers who believe there is nothing more they can do for their children can get irritated sometimes. However, they can always pray, which is among the most prized gifts of all.

 A mother's prayers have the power to construct a stronghold around her kids. When I was a little child, I heard my name mentioned in my mother's prayer. As a result of her compassion, I have now found peace with God.

The prophets . . . walked after things that do not profit. — Jeremiah 2:8

 Following foreign gods, the Israelites and their leaders also pursued what they believed would be lucrative for them (Jer. 2:5). But according to verse 8, the Lord told them they were pursuing "things that do not profit," and verse 19 said their own guilt was damning them. When God intervened, they were more falsely accused of their own deeds than of God. They were unable to avoid the Lord's sight or mislead His sense of fairness. 

In actuality, each of us is guilty before the Lord and in need of His pardon. But before it's too late, we can discover the mercy that no human court could provide because He loved us enough to send His Son to die in our place.

 According to Romans 6:23, eternal life is God's gift, while death is the price of sin. Jesus is prepared to erase your guilt, weighted with shame and disgrace. He gladly endured suffering and death in your stead; why not accept His pardon and grace?

I will give you a new heart. — Ezekiel 36:26

 Although my nice neighbour experienced cardiac problems, his spiritual heart disease was even more serious. Because Adam brought sin into the human race, we are all affected by this issue (Rom. 5:12–14). According to Romans 6:23, the prognosis for this cardiac condition is not just bodily death but also spiritual death. 

There is just one solution. A "new heart" needs to be given by Jesus, the Great Physician. As we accept our heart troubles and allow Him to work through His grace to grant us eternal life, He works in us. 

How is the health of your heart?

 We require a new heart, not just a fresh start! Why is there so much wickedness in our world, so much conflict and greed?

The solution is inside of us; we require a fresh heart.

Do all things without complaining and disputing. — Philippians 2:14

 "Do all things without complaining and disputing," urges Philippians 2:14. Although I have a natural predisposition to whine, God has another plan in mind—one that inspires others and allows His light to shine through me (v. 15). 

How would it effect our friends and family if we lived our lives without grumbling? What about our capacity to impart the life-giving Word to others? (15–16 vv.). 

Does it squawk or does it not? We have the option. 

A Christian who constantly complains is a paradox. God commands us to abstain from complaining, arguing, and sulking if we are to share the living Word with unbelievers.

O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You! — Psalm 84:12

 According to Ephesians 1:3, our Father has bestowed upon us "every spiritual blessing... in Christ." He has selected and adopted us (vv.4-5). Furthermore, we are guaranteed eternal life (Ti. 1:2). Nobody is more fortunate than us, and nobody can possibly be happier than us! 

Of course, there are moments when we feel intense sadness. However, because of God's innumerable blessings, people may ask us why we appear to be so happy. 

A heart that is tuned to God will give thanks to him. My spirit is soothed by music in the night, and my soul is filled with delight in Jesus the Lord. His blood atones for my sins, and I walk in the light.

Put on love, which is the bond of perfection. — Colossians 3:14

 Today's Christians should exhibit the same Christ-centered transformation. We must first show the love of God to our fellow followers of Christ before we can extend love to our friends and neighbours who are still without faith. It's His mandate for us (1 John 4:20–21), and the greatest means to demonstrate to the world the transformative power of love. 

Love is the force that unites Christians and leads unbelievers to Christ. Blessed be the Christian love that unites our hearts; the camaraderie of like minds is comparable to that which is above.

Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. — 1 Corinthians 10:31

 Serving Christ should be done with a mindset comparable to this. We can be so confident that we are carrying out the Father's will when we submit to the Holy Spirit that we will be able to approach every task with zeal and excitement. 

How much more should the acts of love we perform for the Lord and other people bring us constant joy as God's children! 

Whether we are working on a large-scale project or are only lending a hand to a neighbour, we always need to keep God and mankind in mind. "Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord," advised the apostle Paul (Col. 3:23). No matter how big or small, whatever we accomplish for Jesus ought to be "the biggest thing" in our life.

Doing one small thing well is a great thing. No matter what you're working on,
Take it on with vigour,
Since your labour is done for the Lord,
He also demands your very best.
