The apostle Paul taught this in his 2nd letter to the Corinthians.
“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10
The United States was built on a platform of religious freedom with Biblical values - and those same freedoms are being exercised by others and some would say, they are used against Christians. I get that - but I also see the Christians in other countries who are living out this verse and they pray for the American Church, full of riches, to experience hardship and persecution to strengthen their faith. Maybe those prayers are being answered and it’s to our benefit… #justwondering #christianliving #BEthechurch #wheniamweakheisstrong #shalom #dailydevotional #yourjourneytobeingwhole
