God's Power Perfected In Weakness
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
To
Paul was committed the greatest revelation of all time. He was divinely
commissioned to proclaim the glorious all-sufficiency of Christ’s
redemptive work. He made known God’s offer of salvation by free grace to
all who trust in Christ, along with their heavenly position, blessings
and prospect in Christ.
Lest
he should become puffed up by the glory of these great truths, God gave
him what he called “a thorn in the flesh,” an aggravating physical
infirmity of some sort. “For this thing,” he says, “I besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from me” (II Corinthians 12:8). But the Lord knew
better than Paul what was good for him:
“And He said unto me. My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (Ver. 9).
How
right God was! Every Christian knows that with brimming health and
“good fortune” comes the tendency to forget our need of Him, while
infirmity causes us to lean harder and to pray more, and this is where
our spiritual power lies. Every believer should acknowledge this and say
with Paul:
“Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities… for when I am weak, then am I strong” (Vers. 9,10).
Infirmities
of the flesh are common even among God’s choicest saints. What
satisfaction there is, then, in resting upon God’s Word: “My grace is
sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
