Scripture: For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:10 ESV)

Observation: Our dependance on Christ is most evident in times of struggle and the most dangerous of times is during times of prosperity when we think we can rely on ourselves instead of God.

Application: Weakness draws us close to Christ.  To prefer weakness is to prefer closeness to Christ.

Prayer: Daddy, it is so hard sometimes to yield to the flesh and rely on You.  Change our hearts, that our desires would be one with Your desires.  Amen.
