A scripture that has stuck with me since the beginning of Summer Internship comes out or 2 Corinthians 12.9-10, where Paul the Apostle shares about this thorn in his flesh and this thing that physically disables him. He then shares how God’s power has been his strength to keep going.
This verse has come to mind consistently. In moments where my flesh is weak or tired, I remember God’s power. It’s made perfect in our weakness. Through his power, I’m able to best my flesh into submission. I’ve been thankful to experience Gods power and strength in new ways. I find myself not stressing over the amount of sleep I get anymore because I know that God will fill in where I am lacking.
I’ve had several moments where I’ve needed extra strength. Where I didn’t go to bed until late because things needed to get done. But, I can testify to the fact that God has stepped in every time and my spirit is getting stronger and stronger. I’m learning not to rely on the strength of my flesh.
