In My Weakness He is Strong

Before work this morning, I was walking on the treadmill, trying to build back from my latest injury. As I walked, I was reading my Bible, and a passage I read really stood out to me.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me

I’ve been in a season where my body has grown physically weak through increased injuries and ongoing pain. I’ve realized I can’t just train more and push harder like I once could. Instead, I’ve had to lean into God just to get up in the morning—to find joy, to not get discouraged, and to keep moving forward.

I’ve also faced hardship through my dad’s illness, and I’ve felt God guiding my family through it. He continues to give a peace that surpasses all understanding as we face each day and each new stage of his dementia. He provides a supernatural grace and strength for our family to care for one another as we walk through this together.

Even though this season is pushing me to my limits physically and emotionally, God is filling in the gaps. He is meeting me in my weakness and making me strong where I cannot be on my own.
