Stronger Together

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV

Some days I don't read my daily verse until the night but I am always pleasantly surprised how well the verse fits my day. I had a very long week at work and though I make sure to exercise and take care of myself, I found myself extremely tired today.  As much as I should have been getting done around the house I just didn't. I spent the day resting and recharging. I was happy that my hubby went grocery shopping and cooked dinner. My daughter folded her laundry. Our home would not function if we didn't work together so that when one of us is weak or sick or gone, what needs to get done gets done. We are stronger together.

It's the same with our relationship with God. If we are always strong and ready, we may feel we don't need his help. But we are stronger together. We do need him and we understand this better when we are weak. This past week I knew I couldn't do it without him, no matter how prepared I was.

We are stronger with him for when we are with him who can be against us.
