I am weak, and therefore I often feel that I am unfit for ministry. Is weakness a disqualifier for ministry?
You could argue that if human weakness was an automatic disqualifier from ministry, none of the disciples would have been called into ministry. The fact of the matter is that there is never a day when you don’t demonstrate somehow, someway that you are weak. There is never a day when you don‘t reveal that there are still pockets of foolishness in you. In fact, God will use the responsibilities, opportunities, burdens, and temptations of ministry to reveal to you and those who love you how weak you really are. He reveals your weakness to you so that you will continue to seek the help of His grace, and he reveals it to others so that they can be instruments of His grace in your life. Paul didn’t resign his ministry because he became convinced he was the foremost of all sinners. No, you could argue that it is your admission of weakness that protects your ministry from becoming all about human reputation and kingdom building. And it is your weakness that protects you from the dangers of self-righteousness and self-reliance.
–Paul David Tripp
Take time to thank God for your areas of weakness that remind you to rely on Him and on others.
