Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
What does Paul mean in this verse when he says he “takes pleasure” in all of these difficult circumstances? He’s saying that…
Paul took pleasure in these things, because their result was to make him stronger in the Lord.
God is waiting to make you strong. There is power in our suffering. Suffering is not going to hurt you; it is going to strengthen you.
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
