strength made perfect in weakness

Paul the Apostle had something bothering him. He prayed for it to go away, but it did not. Instead, he was told, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul then said, "Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."  2 Cor 12:9

We can focus on what is bothering us, or we can focus on God. We can focus on sin or we can celebrate God.

To the extent that we are negative, we lose power.  To the extent that we focus on God will be the measure of joy and hope in our lives.

This is the key to seeing the good in life. The choice we make to get our eyes off of what is bothering us, what is wrong, what we did, what is broken and simply celebrate the goodness and wonder of God in this world.

His grace is sufficient. Now that is something to celebrate.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
