Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 

Last week we moved Lori’s daughter and her husband from their old house to the new one. To say they had a lot of stuff was an understatement, LOL. We knew there would be some heavy stuff too, and being old and slightly out of shape, I knew we needed some strong hands. Thankfully we had some extra help and it was much appreciated! 

I recently put some thought into today’s scripture and this came to mind: weakness equals dependence. When we are weak in something, we have to depend upon someone or something to help us move the heavy burdens from our lives. For Christians, that strong arm is Jesus Christ. He is dependable and available 24/7 to help carry or move our burdens so we can continue the life of His perfect will. He might not totally eliminate the weight of life’s burdens, but He surely will provide all that is needed when you are not strong enough on your own as He provides the strength!   

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 

Maybe you are facing a mountain that is weighing heavy on your soul. Put your dependence in Jesus Christ and let Him help you. He loves it when you depend upon Him for help, because He uses that time to strengthen your faith and trust in Him as He moves whatever it is from your path. Nothing is impossible with God.
