This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God's plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strengthāand sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God's power is made perfect when people are at their weakest. Far from an undesirable defect, God designed our weakness to draw us closer to himself. As you learn to accept the good gift of weakness, you will experience true strengthāthe kind that only comes from a loving and infinitely powerful God.
