Some days, we can experience a sense of weakness. It may be physical or mental, yet whatever way we find ourselves weak, there is a need for strength.
St. Paul is known to have said, 'In my weakness, I find my strength.' This can be very encouraging to realise that being weak is not a bad thing. It may well be an invitation to discover our true sense of strength.
Physical weakness is a good example because we find ourselves unable to manage. Our worklist is left aside, and we are forced to take life easy. Of course, this can be a good or a bad situation. We may have organised our day to fulfill many things, and suddenly we are without strength or motivation.
This is good. We need help. We need someone to help and comfort us in our weak state. If we are of a spiritual mind, we have an opportunity to realise our need for God's help in our lives.
Without weakness, we can act as a strong, independent person. We don't need help from others. We may even believe we don't need God's help. Yet, as soon as we can accept our state of weakness, we will find our strength in those who help us.
We are a social being. We need the support of others. More especially, we need to recognise our need for God.
