Читать книгу Let The Weak Say: - Job Mothiba - Страница 8

Have you ever been asked in the interview about your weakness? You would find yourself in the situation that on one hand, you don’t want to mention your weakness thinking it will make you lose out on the job. On the other hand, you’re still expected to deliver an answer and you end up saying you don’t have any. Being asked about your weaknesses in an interview may be intimidating. After all, you’re there to show them how capable you are, not to talk about what you’re bad at.

Everyone who is born of flesh and blood has some weakness, but not everyone is aware of his or her weakness. Many of us believe we are weak only when we suffer defeat and sin. Far from it, that is not the reason. The reason is that we are not aware of our weaknesses, and so we are not crying out to God in our need before we fall. We do not present ourselves before the throne of grace to seek our great and compassionate High Priest. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet he did not sin. (Hebrews 4:15).

He calls us in our weakness, even when He knows we will do it wrong. He puts His priceless treasure in (these earthen vessels of ours) our body because He delights in doing the impossible with nothing. His strength is perfected in our weakness. “We are like clay jars in which this treasure is stored. The real power comes from God and not from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Hebrews 4:16)
