2 Corinthians 12:10
Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Thought
When we are strong in abilities or resources, we are tempted to do God’s work on our own, and that leads to pride. When we are weak, when we allow God to fill us with his power, then we are stronger than we could ever be on our own. Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite content with my weaknesses and with insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. His power makes you effective for him!
Prayer
Father, give us wisdom, on how to lead our families to love you more. Please bless our parents, and thank you for their faith. Please give us courage and sensitivity so that we can effectively share your truth with our children. O God, please bless those parents who are seeking to raise godly children who will someday marry the children you’ve given us. We want our houses to be places where you are known, appreciated, honored, and loved.
