Weakness's no problems?

 

 Weakness no obstacle

‘Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.’ Isaiah 41:10

(suggested further reading: 2 Kings 6:8–23)

The contents of this promise are fully answerable to all our fears, needs and distresses. ‘Poor fearing soul,’ the Lord says, ‘Fear not. I am with you.’ When Elisha’s servant saw the chariots of fire, he thought himself safe, though surrounded with an army. But here is more: Psalm 27:3 [Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident]. He is not with you only in a way of common providence, but in a way of covenant mercy and special grace. I am your God. If so, you are his people, and of such he has said in Zechariah 2:8, … he that touchs you, touchs the apple of his eye.

Are you weak? He says, I will strengthen you. But his strength is made perfect in weakness. Say therefore with Paul, [… for when I am weak, then am I strong] (2 Corinthians 12:9–10). See the chapter before my text, verse 29 [He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases their strength]. Consider how weak others have been, and yet how strong the Lord has made them—e.g., Abraham, the Patriarch, Peter, the Apostle.
