That is why, for Christ’s sake, 

I delight in weaknesses, 

in insults,

in hardships, 

in persecutions, 

in difficulties. 

For when I am weak, then I am strong. 

 2nd Corinthians 12:10

Folks, this scripture speaks volumes to me.  

For the last week, I've felt and endured each of the above.  

Weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions and difficulties.  

I can take weakness, and even hardships or difficulties,

but insults and persecutions cut me at the knees.  

Not so much for the hurt and pain of my flesh, 

but because I can't defend my Savior the way I so deeply desire.  

I feel like I'm fighting with a dull butter knife, instead of a sharp sword.  

The only way I know to get better at defending my God 

is to bury myself deeply into scripture.   

His word, His soothing promises.  

I hope someday I can shine the light of Christ Jesus 

to all who question His existence and final plan.  

Until then, I will abide in Him, and read His word.

Until tomorrow, abiding in Him, God willing.
