Sermon: 8/30/26- Friday's Devotional
Strength Made Perfect in Weakness
Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Joshua 1:9
Joshua 1:9 reminds us that God commands courage not because the task is easy, but because He is present with us in it.
Paul pleaded three times for his suffering to be removed. God's answer was not relief but presence: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness," as stated in 2 Corinthians 12:9. This is the same answer available to every Barak who stands at the edge of a calling and trembles. God does not promise to remove the fear. He promises to be greater than it. Remember the image of Jesus holding the child's hand? In the midst of your fear, God says, "Hold MY hand." Not the hand of a mentor or a friend, but MY hand. Whatever frightens you today, bring it to God and hold on.
