For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10
How do we respond when we are roughed up for no reason at all? Or for being a Christian?
The Apostle Paul was no stranger to this kind of treatment and he said he was content. Content? What does that mean we are just supposed to take it? I think so, because often saying something does nothing but to stir the pot and encourage our tormentors.
The end result is that those who are watching will see our strength. And, when we are asked how we stand it, we can say, "My strength is in knowing God will take care of me."
Be strong.
