(S)cripture-
2 Cor. 12:10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(O)bservation-
In any worldly hardship we can draw strength knowing that we are covered by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is sufficient to cover everything. It is only through Him that we are strong in all things and in weakness Christ's power is made perfect. Without weakness and hardship we would not know how much we need Him.
(A)pplicaiton-
In times of weakness I draw upon the grace of Christ to strengthen me. By these trials and hardships we are refined by the process and receive the power of Christ to strengthen us and become more like Him. For this reason, even though they are unpleasant, I welcome the trials of life as an opportunity to grow and become more like my Savior.
(P)rayer-
Father, please continue to do Your refining and purifying work in my life. Thank You for Your Son Jesus whose grace is sufficient to cover everything. Help me as I go through the trials of this world and to remain strong and be a great witness to others - to carry out the work of Your Kingdom regardless of my personal circumstance. I love and praise You in Jesus name, Amen.
