9 Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
This is one of my more recent memory verses (aiming to reach 200 by then end of the year - only 173 to go...) One of the things I love about scripture memorisation is that when you memorise something, it forces to you really pay attention to the 'nuances' of each verse. You have to really soak in it, otherwise it's not going to stick. Sort of like tasting a fine wine.... Anyhoo..
So with this verse here, the thing that struck me is that we have to be able to boast about our weakness - otherwise Christ's power can't work through us.. In our attempt to become completely functional and self-dependent, we can effectively stop God from working miracles through us. Sobering thought, hey...
By the way, both my gym-attending and blog-writing habits are back with a vengeance...
