Look at me Look at me …
The social media anthem right? We post about our successes and what we’re doing. Most of it is good so our family and friends can keep up with what we’re doing. We feel good for that person if we know them or they are a family member. But what about the posts that are used for vanity metrics just to boast?
How many posts do you ever see about someone posting about a terrible mistake they made or a royal screw up? Not many or none. We’re too shameful to admit those and makes us look bad or even makes us look weak. Showing signs of weakness is looked down upon in today’s society especially on social media.
But Look at what Paul writes in 2nd Corinthians 11:30:
“If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.”
Paul continues to write in 2 Corinthians 12:9:
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 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.
Paul had no problem admitting his weakness because in his weakness he needed to rely on Jesus so then he can become strong. In his weakness, he needed to surrender to Jesus and admit he can’t do it. Jesus then gave him the strength so he would become stronger than what he was.
How many followers do you think he would have if he lived in the social media era with a post like this?
Think about the night before Jesus went to the cross recorded in Luke 22:42. He asked his father God to keep him from the cross if there was another way. Even Jesus, in the flesh, showed signs of weakness and surrendered to his father God. God then gave him the strength to go to the cross and pay the debt for your sin and my sin.
Being weak and admitting it is not a sign of weakness in the eyes of God. It’s a sign of strength. It forces us to rely on God’s power and not our own. God takes the burdens and makes our load light.
Try it and see...
Be Blessed.
