Working on Our Weak Spots
The enemy of our soul will rarely attack us in our strong spots in life because he knows that his chances to cause us to fail would be limited. Rather, he will concentrate on the weak spots in our lives because he will have a greater chance of succeeding.
How should we respond to our weaknesses? We need to acknowledge our weaknesses but not to dwell on them. In Joel 3:10 we are told, “let the weak say I am strong.” As soon as we have found a weak spot, we need to start speaking the Word of G-d. We need to look for a Scripture we can stand on and then start confessing strength over the weakness. For example, if you get angry quickly, focus on praying for temperance. If it is hard to believe in G-d’s promises, focus, pray and start speaking faith. If there is much idle talk in us let’s focus on curbing the tongue.
Someone may ask, “Are there verses in the Bible for all of our weaknesses?” Yes, there are. We just have to ask the Holy Spirit to show them to us. When we feel weak it is crucial to voice strength. It is part of getting strong. So when we are strong we need to say so. Say, “I am strong!” When we feel weak, we need to say, “I am strong!” Ignoring the weakness will not lead us to overcoming it. Confessing we are strong will certainly confuse the devil and lead us onto the path of strength and victory over all weaknesses. Let’s follow G-d’s Word and confess, “Let the weak say I am strong.”
In Him,
