2 Corinthians 12:9; Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Let me make it clear for Christ's sake! FOR THE POWER! v10; Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. FOR THE POWER! Infirmities; Psalm 34:19; Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. v20; He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. FOR THE POWER! Reproaches; Job 27:6; My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Proverbs 14:34; Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. FOR THE POWER! Necessities; Luke 12:31; But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. v32; Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. FOR THE POWER!  Persecutions; Psalm 46:1; God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Isaiah 54:17; No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Distresses; Isaiah 40:31; But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
