—2 Corinthians 12:7b-10
by: Trisha Gerstel.
In the fleshly realm, there are two possible approaches to any situation: fear and anxiety that one is unprepared and will, therefore, fail; or a sense of pride and self-assurance in one’s abilities. As Christians, we are called to approach life in an entirely different way. Christians understand that no ability is of our own making, and that even unknown situations are under the control of a loving God. When we accept our own weakness and acknowledge God’s ultimate power, we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us, and the light of God to shine through us.
