What is our purpose? When answering this question, it is common to think about our greatest strengths. And why not? Would it not make sense to think that we will end up doing the most good by using our strengths in the Lord’s work? This may very well be true. However, I think it might be worthwhile to think of it in a different way as well. Satan, the greatest liar, source of evil and deceiver has a goal to destroy and ruin the lives of each of God’s children. We are often tempted and led to sin. Our weaknesses are known by him and he exploits them constantly. What is trying to do by attacking us at our weakest points? Could it be that in our weaknesses lie our purpose and that by attacking us there we never would get to our true potential.
There is a sure fire, 100% percent proven way to overcome weaknesses revealed to one of the God’s prophets long ago.
“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.”
