Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12 that “when I am weak, I am strong”. This makes sense only when one believes and accepts the fact that when we are weak, God is strong, strongest, and is strong for us. His grace is enough to hold us over forever. We do not need to be strong, that is God’s job.
How can someone be a good listener when they are always busy talking about themselves? Modesty is an issue I have seen myself struggle with over the years. I don’t know why, as I cannot really think of anything to boast about. But anyways, the fact that I Corinthians 10:23 is being used to help outline modesty is very interesting. But it makes complete sense. Sure you can boast and it may be the truth and nothing truly bad will probably come from it, but is it necessary? Will it bring good to others? We are here to help and bring good to others, and boasting does not do that, so we shouldn’t boast. It seems like such a simple thing to not do; yet it can seem so easy to talk about ourselves sometimes. Listening is always more fun than talking anyways.
God’s grace is enough, it is plenty enough for us, and I am thankful for that.
I cannot wait to finally meet and fellowship with all of you this weekend!! See you soon!
